Types of frog food?

Question

I have a younger borther that had just find a tree frog on the sid of the house out side and he would like to know what they can eat because I do not know and the food that I have is called Reptomin and it said that it is for aquatic turtle,newts and frogs and it come's with food called mini-krill's and mini-stick's and baby-shrimp could I feed the tree frog any of the food that I have or will it kill it can what type of food can I give it....

Answer 1

Most frogs will eat any LIVE, moving prey that will fit in their mouths. They will NOT eat prepared foods.

Feed it lots of tiny, live insects.

Answer 2

There are special tadpole and young frog foods at most petstores.  If you can find week old crickets then that would be great.  Anything like mini krills, I would say, is a big no.  Tree frogs wouldn't eat krill in the wild.  Steer clear of any unnatural frog foods.  But since the frog is so young and feeding him may be difficult then you should put him back and go buy one from the store, they need good homes.

I have a very tiny pacific tree frog right now, it fits on a dime and still has room to move around.  Right now I'm feeding it live bloodworms and flightless fruitflies.. I've never had any luck getting a frog to eat food that doesn't move.  You can also use aphids as long as you know they haven't been sprayed or the plants their on.

Answer 3

ok since its a baby u have to buy what they call "Pinhead crickets" theyre basically just baby crickets.  and i wouldnt reccomend feeding the reptomin to a tree frog because its not aquatic. Just buy the pinheads and make sure u have a little dish of water, enough for it to sit in with out going over its "arms." Anywho pineheads are ur best bet if not,petco sells "flightless" fruit flies.

Answer 4

frog and tadpole bites, bloodworms, krill enriched foodsticks, floating food sticks,

Answer 5

he eats live food..maybe some garden worms.  Some crickets..anything that crawls..

if you cut a small piece from a garden worm th esma;; piece will wiggle for a little bit and he hopefuly will see it.

Petco has itty bitty crickets..

(can he maybe put it back where he found it)
