Larger frogs like Pacman frogs and African bullfrogs are fierce predators and will also eat small fish, other amphibians, and even young mice! Small carnivorous frogs like to feed on ants, termites, aphids, beetles, mosquito larvae, small worms, and flies.
In fact, at least one known species eats mainly fruit! Most frog species, however, are primarily carnivorous. There are more than 5000 frog species in the wild, and some will even eat more plants than meat. It’s difficult to generalize about frogs because they’re such a diverse family of amphibians. When we’re learning how to feed an aquatic pet, it’s always important to understand what they’d eat in the wild. Even if they do, it probably won’t do them much good. If you try to feed your frogs commercial fish food, they’re unlikely to accept it. When it comes to feeding frogs, a diverse diet that mimics their natural menu is the key. But like fish, you need to create the ideal environment and feeding regime for them to remain healthy and happy. Frogs are endlessly fascinating creatures to keep in an aquarium or herpetarium.
