Wild tree frogs live in the woods and feed on small insects that also live in the woods. Tree frogs hunt fast and efficiently. If tree frogs are bred artificially, they can also be fed with barley worms, cockroaches, crickets and other insects as their staple food. You can also give them suckling mice and earthworms, but be careful not to overfeed them. In addition, tree frogs can be given some food containing vitamins and calcium, which can make their bones develop better.

1. What

do tree frogs eat? Tree frogs are one of the amphibians. From their names, we can see that they basically live in the woods. They like to stay in humid places, so that they can breathe more smoothly. From the point of view of feeding habits, tree frogs mainly eat meat and are carnivores. Wild tree frogs will catch small insects that also live in the woods as their own animals, and insects smaller than them may become food for tree frogs. Tree frogs hunt very fast, so they are more efficient.

If you want to keep tree frogs in captivity, you can give them more food to eat. Breeders can also use insects as their main food, such as barley worms, cockroaches, crickets and so on. In addition, the nutritional value of some insects is relatively high, such as earthworms and suckling mice. If the suckling mice are large, they can be divided into small pieces. However, when eating suckling mice for tree frogs, attention should be paid to the fact that although suckling mice are rich in nutrients, it is not good for them to eat too much, which will make them gain too much weight, so it is not recommended as a staple food. In addition to animals, tree frogs can also be given food rich in vitamins and calcium, which can promote their bone growth.

2. How often do you feed tree frogs?

If you breed tree frogs artificially, you should pay special attention to the frequency of feeding besides the type of food. In fact, the digestion rate of tree frogs is not particularly fast, so feeding does not need to be too frequent. Generally speaking, adult tree frogs should be fed about once a week. If they are fed too often, tree frogs may not be able to eat easily because the food they ate last time has not been fully digested. If you breed smaller tree frogs, you can feed them more frequently, but generally speaking, you don't have to feed them every day.
