You should have planned ahead before this point. No one would have told you that they could eat anything but small crickets. I strongly urge you to figure out what species of frog you have, as well as buy some fruit flies and pinhead crickets (TRUE pinheads) as soon as possible.

hey again. Thank you, but everytime i ask for information, please don't insult me. I didn't know i was getting them until the last minute. Someone was just going to let them die so i saved them. tehy have no experience in the wild and could not survive. But thank you for the information, maybe next time, just help ppl, dont make them feel stupid, because you don't know the full story.

Go out and look in your front yard in the grass,you might be able to find some very small green flying bugs called leaf hoppers but fruit flies would be best.Is there anyway you can post a picture?or describe your froglet to us?make sure you tell us your location so we know what your local species are.Good luck.

You are correct, I don't know the whole story. Niether do you, check the frog forums for people who have been raising tadpoles for months and then are suddenly surprised they can not feed them "tadpole bites" or lettuce anymore. I make no apologies when someone doesn't INCLUDE the whole story, and I have to assume they are clueless like everyone else. A scolding is always in order when people don't do the research on a living animal.

i got the fruit flies, he loves them, thanks for the help. lol, you don't know me and research. I'm getting lizards in about 3 months, i have so much research already! And i did research my frogs, i just didn't know about this sudden frog. Right now he has a great terrarium and real plants, he's doing good. And yes i know how to raise tadpoles, I've raised many of them. OK, thanks again!
