    Exclamation Froglet food?

    OK so I bought some water fleas Dapneia. The woman at the pet store said i should put them in the water (obviously) so my froglets are tiny frogs with hardly any tail left. They have land and water, should i start feeding them crickets (i think there still young to be eating crickets) or leave them with the water fleas? I would appreciate fast reply's :

    Your little froglets will stop eating as they absorb their tail.
    What species and sized froglets are they? You'll likely need to start with pretty small food (depending on species) but suitable things would be hatchling or 1st instar crickets, fruit flies, springtails pea aphids and grain weevils. Also make sure you dust them with calcium/vit supplement before feeding

    Meadow plankton works well, by which i mean taking a butterfly net and sweeping it through tall grass in an area where PESTICIDES ARE NOT USED.
