    Exclamation African Dwarf Frog Diet - Help!

    I've been reading a lot lately on what exactly is best to feed my ADFs.
    As of currently, they are eating frozen (thawed) bloodworms. But I've read that this may cause bloat?
    Or that bloodworms should be used as "treats," more so than their main food source?
    So what exactly would be the best? Brine shrimp?
    Also - I haven't gotten a clear answer on exactly how often/how much I should be feeding them.
    Right now they are getting around 5 or 6 bloodworms ever other day.
    I've cared for these animals before, I just really want to make sure they are getting the very best care/nutrition I can provide.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello and welcome to FF! Main thing with aquatic frogs is to never feed them freeze dried foods. A varied diet is the best you can do for yours. Can feed: chopped earthworms; pinhead crickets; roach nymphs; thawed bloodworms; gut loaded live brine shrimp; Daphnia; Grindal worms; Black worms, D. hydei fruit flies; and staple frog pellets.

    IRT food amounts; I just fine tune the quantity to the frog's activity level and feeding response. You want your frogs to look meaty but not obese. Young frogs can be fed more during growth stage than full grown adults. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
