    Okay, Took your advice, got 2 packages of Hikari Frozen Blood Worms, 3 packages of Brine Shrimp, 1 Package of Daphina. Let it thaw for like 20-30 minutes. Then I feed them. I am having a tough time feeding them but I will start another thread about that here for anyone who would like to respond. Thanks for all the help in saving my ADF'S.

    I Use Omega One Carnivore medley (Brine shrimp, Mysis Shrimp and Bloodworms). I load a half of a cube into a turkey baster and put it into the tank above my frog's heads. They eat well, then Rufio the Betta fish joins them to eat the leftovers (he's kept in a separate tank while they eat because they are quite food aggressive and he has fishy ADD.)

    Okay, feeding them the thawed frozen blood worms, or brine shrimp everyday. How much should they be given. I usually give 2-3 each. I'll try the turkey basted. Tried putting tape around the tweezers but they would't grip the food.

    Do not take dry food out of their diet. Since our frogs live in captivity, we cannot always ensure enough variety that will cover all of the frogs' dietary needs. Also, dry food has the correct ratio of D3 and calcium. While some ADF will not accept dry food, I think you should always attempt it. When I kept ADF, I noticed that they preferred the specially formulated Xenopus Food from Xenopus Express over Frog and tadpole bites. I strongly recommend you look into feeding Xenopus Express' sinking pipid frog food.
