Pet frogs can eat many kinds of animals, such as mole crickets, mosquitoes, flies, locusts, earthworms and so on. These baits can be purchased or caught in the wild. In addition, mealworms eaten by birds or small fish and shrimps eaten by fish can also be eaten by pet frogs. When pet frogs are small, they need to be fed small animals.
What do pet frogs eat and how often are they fed?

1. What do

pet frogs eat? Frogs are amphibians, which are common in our country and are common in all parts of our country. Wild frogs are distributed in some rivers or rice fields in the wild. In addition, frogs can also be bred artificially. Breeders can buy some pet frogs in the market. When they are raised, they need to be fed. Although frogs are omnivores and can eat plants, they mainly eat animals, and wild frogs mainly eat insects.

Breeders can also give pet frogs some insects, such as mole crickets, mosquitoes, flies, locusts, earthworms, etc. These insects can be purchased directly, and if they have time, they can also go directly to the wild to catch frogs. If you really can't find insects for frogs to eat, you can also give them mealworms for birds to eat, or small fish and shrimps for fish to eat. When frogs are small, the food they eat should not be too big. They can eat flies, maggots, mosquitoes and other small insects. If the food is too big, they need to be divided into small pieces before eating.

In addition, when feeding pet frogs, it should be noted that they only sense insects in motion, because their eye structure is very special. Therefore, when feeding frogs, we need to feed live insects, then tie them to the line, when they wriggle, they will attract the attention of pet frogs, pet frogs will eat them.

2. How often do pet frogs feed? When

breeding pet frogs, we also need to pay attention to the frequency of feeding. Although wild frogs eat a large number of insects every day, many of which are pests, pet frogs do not need to be fed too frequently, in fact, their digestion rate is relatively slow. Generally speaking, for very young frogs, feeding can be a little more frequent, about two or three times a week. When the frogs are older or adult, they don't have to be fed so often, about once a week.
