Frogs catch their food with their tongues, swallow the food, then it goes into their stomachs then into their small intestines to be broken down by bile and pancreatic juices. Then it moves to the large intestine where the water is reabsorbed and then routed to the cloaca. The wastes are then existed through the cloaca and cloacal vent.

Get a small fishing net to catch them. Once they are in you can just twist the net a bit to keep it in. It is a great way to feed your frog and keep them out of the house. If they are outside in a pond they should be OK with catching there own flies earth worms are good to just leave them near buy and that should do the trick. Aquatic frogs that only live in water you just give them fish food or boiled leatuce. Aquatic Frogs eat just like tadpoles they love boiled lettuce which is an easy alternative. Hope this helps!

Frogs have a special tongue. The thing is sticky. They can throw their tongue out like a whip to catch these tiny bugs.

Frogs have very flexible tongues and they are very sticky, so when a bug goes by they just extend their tongue and it will catch the bug and they will eat it .
