i used to catch moths, flies for mine and feed them them meal worms, they do flies, I used to pop them in the fridge to slow them down so i could put them in the tank without them getting away, i lvoe frogs they are a great pet, you can also get powders to feed the crickets or dust thme in I think

If you're not sure and cannot find a caresheet on the type of frog you have, always start with crickets.
Crickets are easy and basic. Most frogs and toads will eat all sorts of bugs and wiggly jiggly things that most people would cringe to see crawling on their bedroom wall at night... so if in doubt, start with crickets, and add anything else you find them interested in eating. The big fatties sometimes eat goldfish and guppies, and some will even eat mice!
As for teeny tiny frogs, you can try baby crickets or flightless flies or even live bloodworms placed in an upside down milk-cap (or some sort of shallow dish that has a bit of water for the worms.
hope that helps
if u need anything else related to Aquatic pets give me a yell

Yeah I used to have them and you can feed them flies and bugs.The only thing is they'll only eat live prey so unless you're going to catch them yourself,pet shops tend to just have crcikets as they're easy to breed.
