Either will do, but in my experience, fruit flies are so easy to raise that I only order pinheads a couple of times a year for variety. Unless you have other herps that will take the pinheads as they out-grow the young frogs ability to take them, (barely after 6 days old or so, I think I'd go with the fruit flies. Very young froglets and many of the adult frogs will relish springtails for variety, as well. These are super-easy to raise, as a single culture will last for months in the same container, or you can even pre-lace your vivarium with them to try to get them established in the soil. They will feed on fungi and soil detritus, and are a healthy addition to any humid tank. They can't be dusted with the vitamins and D3, so unless you have a source of UVB, they shouldn't be used as an exclusive food source. ----- Patty Pahsimeroi, Idaho
