    You should be able to find it online easily. I have also heard that samurai is better.
    Is there a reason you aren't feeding live food? I'm not bashing the powered food I just believe you should always feed live food when you can.

    And joshua, what do you mean? Feed the pacman food to small frogs ? And what kind.

    So asking this question on this forum may be frowned upon, you are on a forum where people love frogs. But I do understand that in certain parts of the world or countries that some of the more common feeders aren't available. So heres my thoughts, if you were to try and feed frogs you would be spending a lot of money on feeders because you cant just go outside and pick up a frog and feed to your frog. Reason being is that one of these wild frogs will be carrying something like a parasite or some sort of sickness that will be passed on to your frog. Its just not worth it. You would have to breed small frogs yourself and that's a lot more work then buying some crickets or worms Etc. I see a lot of videos of people feeding overly big mice or frogs on youtube, I think I seen one of a guy feeding a finch. And out of all honesty I would bet a lot of these frogs are not still alive due to poor diet or from a injury or something down those lines. What is available for feeders were you are? Can you post a pic of one of these worms? Im thinking maybe they are not nightcrawlers and could be something like a red wiggler and you don't want to give him that because they have a bad taste and it will probably turn him off worms.

    Oh I haven got my frog yet, just wanna make sure I don't do the wrong thing. Sorry if I offended anyone here.. In my country, I have earthworms, meal worms, guppies , crickets and giant meal worms. Think I'll go for earthworms n cricket.

    Hey it never hurts to ask, and like I said sometimes people just don't have a lot options were they are. From what you listed I would agree to stick with crickets and worms.

    I do feed live. My guys staple diet is gut loaded crickets alternated with dubia and occasional waxworms; they have also taken butterworms, hornworms, & earthworms. I'm just looking for alternates, especially in case of emergency or inability to obtain feeders at any point due to weather, etc. Also thinking about trying it on my problem child, Honey-Lime, who has been digestively sensitive from the beginning (likely due to the effects of the coccidiosis they originally came with from Petco).
