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! =)

You have albino African frogs that swim underwater What do you feed them as new frogs?

Wow what a great question reader, first of all they love crickets,tubix worms dry or alive ,worms (earth worms) and other small insects like flies and spiders. when you feed your frog take almost everything out of your frogs home so its prey does not go on it where your frog cannot catch it. Give your frog some time to eat it , please do not rush because that might frighten your frog. Also feed your frog once a day or once every 2 days . I hope this answers your question very good and remember read everthing that is on this answer.p.s I also have a frog , it is a fire belly frog . I will soon be getting another frog. if you want check out some other frogs like the fire belly frog.

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.


How old are frogs when they can catch their own food?
