    Im not 100% sure if this will work on bullfrogs but I have this Zoomed pellet food and it says its for all aquatic frogs and all tadpoles. I raised some tadpoles to frogs with it then released them.

    Pyxicephalus adspersus tadpoles are omnivorous so they eat both plant and animal matter.

    They'll feed on small insects, other tadpoles, and possibly boiled lettace. You might also be able to offer them the aquatic frog food pellets that Truffs posted a picture of if available where you are. Live Blackworms might be something good to offer.

    I offer freeze bloodworm and shrimp food, they are not interest, so I'm confused.

    Hello and welcome to FF Kenlee! What is your location? Tadpoles should eat and grow on most vegetarian based fish foods high in Spirulina or tadpole food previously mentioned. Flake type food or smaller pellets that fit in mouth should be good. If you can find live or frozen Daphnia, blackworms, etc. can try with those too. Stay away from using saltwater organisms like shrimp as staple (including brine shrimp). Can you please post pics of them, thank you !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
