What do I feed froglets?

[treefrogfan]

So two of my tadpoles just turned into frogs and their tails have begun to reabsorb but I am not sure what too feed them. They are about the size of my pinky nail so they are VERY tiny as you can imagine. And I live a ways from the pet store so is there anything I could give them that I mite already have at home?Thanks!

I'm not sure what you already have at home, but pinhead crickets and flightless fruit flies are ideal foods. If you can't get to a pet store, you could order pinheads or a fruit fly culture online.

I agree with Haley. Also Locust hatching's are great too.

If you are really stuck and can't get to a store and are in an area that you know for sure has not been in contact with spray or any chemicals then if you get a net and just brush it over the grass it's amazing what you pick up in the way of little insects. Day or night, night is usually better.

Very good advice from both of these ladies. Josh's Frogs can overnight pinheads to you.

Go with the small flightless fruitflies - easiest and cheapest imho.

I don't know if they're available overseas but in europe we can buy cultured pea aphids (easy to culture)

-pinhead crickets
-fruitflies
-aphids
-firebrats

is what I generally feed to small amphibians, more pinheads and fruitflies though. I dust with Herpetal-amphib

Unfortunately, no one sells aphids or locust here. The fruit fly you should be using is Drosophila melangaster, they are the smaller of the two available. You can also try springtails. Josh should have both.
