What else can I feed whites tree frogs?

[elly]

Adding that cicadas would probably be a bit too large.

No problem! I'm just glad elly added the thing about Cicadas being too big. I've never seen one and assumed they were a normal sized insect. They're pretty big bugs lol.

is there anything like fruits or veggies tho? or maybe just worms i find in my backyard? i live in illinois i dont know what type of worms i can use. also a fully grown whites tree frog eating a cicada is like a 1yo wtf eating a medium/big cricket because the cicadas I'm talking about are the ones i find around my house which are like 3/4 of an inch tall maybe 1 inch and 1.5-2 inches long and 3/4-1 inch wide. the are like the size of two erasers stacked on top of ecahother

Frogs generally only eat insects, with some larger species also eating small rodents, birds, and even snakes. Unfortunately fruits and veggies aren't something they can eat. Worms are usually pretty good food, though. I often feed nightcrawlers to my toads and African Bullfrog. An Adult WTF should be able to handle nightcrawlers, and smaller worms do exist that might make good food. Worms from the wild, like any typical wild insect prey, can carry parasites that are transferred to your frogs. Stores usually only carry nightcrawlers and a smaller species referred to as "Red Wigglers", or "Compost worms". They have a bad taste that some frogs hate. I had a frog that tried to eat one and never tried to eat another worm his whole life.

Hi, another couple worms that aren't to bad and are good to through in the diet if you can get them is Silk Worms and Phoenix Worms. Out Hornworms, wax worms, butter worms, silkies and phoenix worms, these 2 have the most protein and less fat from what I understand. I wish I could Phoenix worms but no one carries them. But all four of my frogs and my bearded dragon love Silkworms, my dragon absolutely goes bonkers for them.

Aargh, I always forget the Silkworms, Waxworms, etc since I can't find them locally. I think I'm going to order some hornworms and maybe silkworms for my frogs soon. Maybe once I feed them to my frogs I won't forget all about them lol
