Answer 2

Keeping frogs' enclosures clean can be a lot of work. Many frogs have fairly simple light, temperature, and humidity requirements, but they are very sensitive to contaminants and waste in their environment.
You need to handle insects to feed most frogs. Some of the larger frogs will even eat pinky mice.

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. You can even make a cricket house so you don't have to touch those icky bugs! See Dealing with Crickets for the Squeamish Pet Owner for more information.
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.
For tadpoles, see the How to Raise Tadpoles page for more information.
If you've got an aquatic frog (i.e. it stays underwater all the time), start with frozen bloodworms or brine shrimp
Try dumping in 3 or so crickets per feeding session per frog, and see whether the frogs seem to still be hungry or starts to look underfed. Remember, frogs really do seem to have distinct behaviors, even within a species! Some will gorge themselves on any available tasty morsels regardless of need, while others will only eat once in a while when hungry. Excessive feeding is not healthy for many frogs, though some simply choose to ignore excessive food when not hungry. Determining how much to feed the frog is often a matter of understanding your frog's personality!
Other types of food can be tried (ex. mealworms, waxworms, grasshoppers,etc.) But crickets seem to be the "food of choice."
There are some guideline recommendations listed on the Dealing With Bugs page

I am thinkin if you have some water about 2-3 inches in the tank and some rocks, i would just feed him fish food, i am sure a pet store could help you out.
U naming him Kermit?...sorry , bad joke.

Answer 5

If it's a frog you buy, like African clawed frogs, there's special food for them, much like fish food.

If it's a frog you catch someplace, insects and worms probably---but it may refuse to eat if captive.

Answer 6

Depends on what kind of frog you have.
I had a bullfrog, and mostly I fed him mealworms, mole crickets, sowbugs. Occasionally I'd give him a bit of earthworm.

Answer 7

Well bugs are what they eat.
But if you go to the pet store they should be able to help you or search one of these sites:
