Best Answer

The giant African bullfrog or pixie frog will eat mostly insects, stuff like locusts, crickets, worms and grubs. Because of the size of these frogs when adult they will also eat large mice, and large rats, they will pretty much eat anything they can fit in there mouth. Grasshoppers will kill them or make them very ill, so if you have one in captivity do not feed them grasshoppers! Insects, small frogs, small snakes, fish.

bull frogs can eat flies, fish, craw fish, worms, crawling insects, crabs, snakes, tadpoles.

They eat tiny bugs or flies. They catch them with their tongue. Being a large predator, bullfrogs will eat any live animal they can overpower and fit in their mouths. This includes birds, mice, lizards, snakes, turtles, fish, invertebrates and other bullfrogs.

Stealth and that sticky tongue.

Addendum to above answer:

American Bullfrogs begin by locating and then leaping towards their prey. They then use their tongue to catch their prey. Like most frogs, bullfrogs have a long, very sticky tongue that is used specifically for feeding. If the prey is larger and is not able to go into the mouth easily, the bullfrog literally uses its forearms to stuff the prey into its mouth.

Bullfrogs eat insects, large individuals may eat anything that fits into their mouths, like small mammals, small snakes and young birds. They will eat preys like these no matter if they are hungry or not. Hungry bullfrogs are able to eat a larger amount of prey compared to frogs that have a full stomach.

Bullfrogs can absorb things through their skin, but they mostly eat just like a normal frog would; through their mouths, using their tongues.

The bullfrogs get food from the wild. They live in conditions that allow them to get food just like any other animal.
