Answer 1

Hi! I am not very familiar with this particular breed of frog, but I have raised several other breeds. A pretty common thing for most frogs to eat is crickets. You can buy live crickets at most pet stores. They come in two sizes large and small. Pick the size that works for your frog, nothing too big. Most adult frogs will eat the large sized crickets.

Another thing to consider is that captive bred frogs do not get the nutrients they would outside. So you should "gut load" the crickets and occasionally "dust" them before feeding.

You should be able to buy a calcium cricket food from most pet stores to feed to the crickets you buy. Just keep them with the food (and I even buy cricket calcium water) in a small container to eat for at least 24 hours prior to feeding your frog. You can by vitamin dusting powder at most pet stores as well. Then just lightly dust the crickets once a week or so before feeding to your frog. WARNING: Too much vitamin powder can really be harmful!!!

As far as care goes, there a tons of great websites out there. Search for reptile and amphibian care forums. You can also purchase books. Most frogs are difficult to care for properly if you are not willing to invest a little time, but if you are, they are wonderful pets!

Enjoy the new frog!

Answer 2

Your frogs are insectivores and will take small insects that they can easily fit in their mouths. I find crickets to be the best because they are readily available and are easy to breed on your own. Whatever the food, make sure the insects have a day in their own enclosure to get some food. T-Rex sells a cricket food for gut-loading that I use and find to be very inexpensive and good. The food contains extra calcium so the frogs will benefit from the nutrient rich gut of the insects. You will also want to coat the food with calcium and multi-vitamin supplements about 3 times a week. The frogs also need to be misted once a day with de-chlorinated water. Do all spraying in the morning to prevent any bacterial buildup.
