What types of live food do pet frogs eat?

Pet frogs eat many types of live food, including crickets, mealworms, superworms, hornworms, silkworms, black soldier fly larvae (aka Phoenix worms), fruit flies, and dubia roaches. Some larger species can eat pinky mice, too. Be sure to choose live food that matches your frog’s species and size, then gut-load or dust it with essential supplements and rotate foods for variety. Your vet can give you the best guidance on what to feed your pet frog.

How often should frogs be fed live food?

The ideal feeding frequency depends on the frog’s species, age, and activity level, so ask your vet for guidance. Roughly speaking, juvenile frogs should be fed live food as often as daily while they’re still growing, then once every two to three days once they reach adulthood. Smaller species may require more frequent feeding than larger frogs, so be sure to adjust feeding frequency based on your frog species habits in the wild.

Should I rotate different types of live frog food?

You should rotate different types of live frog food. Frogs eat a wide variety of insects in the wild, so rotating live food types helps provide the nutritional variety frogs need and keeps them engaged. Feeding only one insect type can lead to imbalances over time, and offering different live food types also help promote a healthy gut.
