help on feeding my froglet

[ColleenT]

it took my froglet 5 days and a shed to start eating. but i think ants are a bit odd to feed to them. the ants are likely to bite him.

these ants dont bite, they arent that kind of ant. they are some weird little tiny ants that I find under rocks a lot. I added the water so they wouldn't crawl on him too. It is the only live food available to me thats small enough for him. We get the bigger kind of ants too that do bite everything but I am always sure to never ever use those. Do you have other suggestions as to things I could find for him? Ants are just the easiest. (I can't shop for anything for a while, the nearest pet store is a long ways away from where I live) and I've never had problems with these types of ants in feeding toads/frogs before.

all ants bite. What might not hurt you would hurt the frog or cause injury to it's skin. i suggest a culture of FLIGHTLESS fruit flies. The smaller ones are even at petco, but i ordered mine online. or you could look for 3 -4 day old crickets- Pinheads.
