    Default Freeze dried/dead food & leopard frogs

    Ok, so I just want to know if the pre-packaged dead bugs are ok for leopard frogs to eat? The only live at stores are crickets, and I know I should give them a variaty of bugs. I have a few traps outside atm for other live bugs. Also I know, leopard frogs wont notice non-moving dead bugs, but I know you can easily trick them into thinking its alive, like by just gently moving it.

    They probably wouldnt eat the frozen bugs. I would just stick with crickets until you can find something else for them to eat. I hope this helps!

    If you gutload the crickets and dust them with vitamins, they should get plenty of nutrients. Have you tried earth worms? That can be highly nutritious for them.

    If they are not captive bred or labeled specifically for reptiles and/or amphibians then yes it would. Feeding dead things even freeze dried is not good. Even it has been dead for 5 minutes the decaying process has already begun. Insects from outside can also have chemical that could hurt your frog.

    It most likely is, although you would be better off feeding live food as it offers a better feeding response and more nutrition.
