Frogs' diets vary depending on their size and habitat. Some frogs do eat worms, but not exclusively. This is not a common diet. If you have a pet frog, only ever feed it the worms that you buy at the pet shop. Never dig up worms to feed them to a frog. There are worms that vary so subtly that a non-expert cannot tell them apart, but one is deadly toxic and one is safe. Wild frogs know but a lot of captive bred frogs will eat the poisonous ones anyway and will die.

You shouldn't. I have a treefrog at home and he LOVES to eat crickets, so try feeding it that. Or feed it mealworms or waxworms as treats.

P.S. for the crickets, my frog is smaller so I feed him pinhead crickets which are smaller than regular crickets. If your frog is bigger, get it regular crickets

African dwarf frogs do not have teeth, so they swallow their food whole. Usually they will live peacefully with snails in the aquarium but, on rare occasions these frogs will eat water snails and brittle shells.

I don't think so...

Crickets by far are the most popular frog food. They can be purchased at any pet store, Wal-Mart, bait shop, and even many convenient stores. If you have a small frog you will need to purchase baby crickets, which are normally only found at your local pet shop.

Some other common foods that may be feed to your pet is just about any insect you find on your windows at night. Flies are great, but for smaller frogs you will need to pull off the wings. This will enable your small frog to catch the fly. One other item that should be noted is that pet store do carry Frog and Tadpole Bites, or other varieties which some frogs will eat. Blood worms are another good choice for feeding small and medium sized frogs. Just make sure you place the worms is a small lid such as a gallon milk lid.

A bull frog could eat a snake or die try attempting to eat one. There is a possibility though.
