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 !
Thanks guys i actually get earthworms weekly for my axolotl salamanders! The acfs have no trouble downing a whole earthworm?? I may have to start a worm farm they arent cheap at my local pet store i spend about $30 a month on them now ! Is it easy to raise them?
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.
Good to know thanks! Ill stop by my local bait place
If cutting night crawlers do so with sharp knife from the pointy end. That way the worm won't die until eaten and side with head can actually heal for later use .

Lol umm ill just get smaller worms :/
For their age, a whole worm is probably fine. My two aren't fully grown, but have been downing whole ones for a few months now. You might be surprised at what they can do!
