Scared of crickets?! :P

[Aleia]

The main reason I don't have a frog anymore is because of the live food you have to feed them.. it may sound silly, but I am really scared of crickets. I had my fire-bellied toad for only a few months, but I finally found him a new home because I could not stand to give him those creepy crickets and mealworms. I love frogs so much, and i want another one really bad because they are great pets and I love to care for them, but I don't think I should get another one because of my fear of bugs. Is there any type of frog that does not have to eat live food? I doubt it, but I thought I would check anyway. Or is there a different type of insect I can buy/catch besides those nasty crickets? What about normal worms? Thanks for any advice.

You could go with dart frogs or mantellas . They eat flightless fruit flies, which are very easy to culture. Otherwise, sorry, no. frogs hunt based on movement, and since dead things don't move...... :-)

Ok, thanks! Maybe I can try that and see how it goes.

Maybe you can use this:
Exo Terra : Vivicator / Vibrating Feeding Dish
This way you can use canned food.

Are you afraid of roaches? If not you could start a roach farm and replace crickets with those. Bill's idea to keep small frogs that feed on wingless fruit flies will work for you if roaches are an issue.

Also; you can keep aquatic frogs like African Dwarf Frogs or the larger African Clawed Frogs. Those two will eat live or frozen food (worms, crustaceans, etc.) and even prepared pellets like ReptoMin. Another aquatic frog is the Budgett's frog. That one is larger still and will need night crawlers as it main diet. Good luck !

I'm not really that scared of roaches, so maybe I can try that. Thanks for the suggestion!

These things rarely, if ever, work for frogs. They are meant more for certain lizards.

I keep both a Pacman frog and dwarf African frogs and I have found that the powdered pac man frog food actually will not dissolve in water. (once it has been mixed and sits for 5 min)
I found this out when I had to force feed my next door neighbors pack man frog a looser mix of the packman frog food and loaded into a large syringe.
and had some left I just squirted into my aquarium with my frogs and fish and it looked like a long worm and all the fish and the frogs went nuts for it.

The makers of the food claim that you can raise packman frogs from tadpole to adult with this food exclusively.
