    Default Feeding bullfrog/leopard froglets

    I have three very large froglets (either bullfrog or leopard frog) which are in the final stages of loosing their tails. Not sure what I should feed them. They are in a 90 gal tank with a bunch of other larger fish. The tank is heavily planted, so there's a nice carpet of plants they can sit on. What should I feed them? How should I feed them? In the picture below you can find one of them, hard to see, but in the middle just below the far lip of the tank.

    So what ever I feed them needs to live in this environment... Ideas?

    Thanks!
    Jeff...

    Hi there
    This setup is perfect for the frogs! once the frogs start to lose their tails is when crickets should be fed.
    otherwords, the mouth of the frog is still developing

    Have a great day!

    Thanks for the quick response - better than most product support boards! So when should I start feeding them. I don't have another tank/cage for them, so they have to stay in the tank until the weather warms up enough. Should I dangle the cricket in front of them? drop on the water? Can they/will they allow someone to hand feed them? So many questions...
