    Default Different food options?

    So i have had my acf gus for 12 years now and his tankmates ollie and druscilla for 3 years. Thier diet consists of mostly pellets , the floating kind from reptomin, and bloodworms 2 times a week. Anyone have any recommendations for different and healthy optins? I want to give them more variety!

    Blackworms and brine shrimp are good options. Feeder guppies are good for occasional treats as well

    Earthworms (nightcrawlers) make a good staple, I feed my frogs crickets occasionally as a treat.

    Agree with Michael recommending earthworms. You can get not dyed night crawlers at local Walmart or bait shops .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Don't buy nightcrawlers at pet stores, they are marked up beyond belief. Walmart sells 18 nightcrawlers for $3.25, that typically lasts me a month for 4 ACF.

    Adult frogs absolutely can eat whole nightcrawlers, for small males you may want to cut in 1/2 though my small male frog can still eat most nightcrawlers whole, I just feed him the smaller ones.. some times he rips it in half and eats only one half. Usually, he eats them just fine, again this is only a problem if your frog is 3" or smaller.
