What does the Sunset Frog eat?

The Sunset Frog typically feeds on insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates found in its habitat. It is an opportunistic feeder and will consume a variety of prey items that it can catch.


What is the function of a frog's tongue?

The frog's tongue is attatched near the front of the mouth rather than the rear. This means that it can be curled at the base of the mouth with the tip pointing backwards towards the frog's throat. The tongue can therefore be flipped out very quickly in order to catch insects and other prey. Mucus glands in the frog's mouth also produce a sticky substance which makes it easier for prey to stick to the tongue.


What could you catch in your backyard that you could feed your pet frog?

If your frog is wild-caught or lives in your pond, then yes. However, if you bought your frog from a pet shop it is likely that he/she was bred in captivity and you shouldn't feed him/her wild insects. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is that in the wild, frogs are immune to some diseases that insects carry, whereas a captive-bred frog will have eaten only healthy insects from the pet shop, as have its parents and sometimes even its grandparents. This is why you must first check before feeding your pet frog food from your garden. If you did find or buy a wild frog, then you could catch ants, fruitflies, houseflies, etc for him/her! =)


What is the function of this external part of the frog?

The external part of the frog, such as its skin, is responsible for respiration, protection against pathogens, and regulation of body temperature. Additionally, the skin of a frog helps in absorbing water and nutrients.


What is the purpose of a frog's sticky tongue?

A frog's sticky tongue is used to catch and hold onto prey, such as insects, by quickly extending and retracting it. The sticky mucus on the tongue helps to trap the prey and pull it back into the frog's mouth for swallowing.
