    Locust, because of the range in size for my different sized frogs and when I see my adult Frog eat an adult Locust, its very impressive.

    Locust again, Ease of keeping, they don't smell, don't make any noise and have a great range of sizes.

    Yeah we do, they are called grasshoppers.

    Oh, I don't have a favorite food item. I feed what I have to, to whoever I am feeding. If its a little guy like a dart frog or froglet, then its fruit flies, small crickets, and bean weevils. Other frogs and salamanders and frogs get crcikets mostly and occasionally mealworms or wax worms. The real big guys get lots of crickets the occasional super worm or small mouse. Snakes get the appropirate sized rodent.

    I'm Just curious, but does anyone feed their frogs normal house flies? that's one of my main food for my frogs. Ive never heard any one mention flies apart from fruit-flies that's all.

    I kind of wish you could choose more than one item in this poll. It all depends on what is being fed. My Fire-bellies and geckos get a main diet of crickets with mealworms once or twice a week. My African Bullfrogs get a main diet of dew worms, superworms and pinky mice. It's not so much a "favourite" as "what's appropriate for what's being fed".

    Depends on the pet, I am afraid. My African Bullfrogs are too big to be sustained on crickets alone anymore. In one sitting, they happily eat 3-4 large earthworms, 2 superworms, half a dozen crickets...I guess I deal with crickets more because of my Fire-bellied toads and geckos, but I have so many MIA's right now, my cats have been kept busy for hours at night. I like worms/mealworms; it would be a toss up between crickets and mealworms/superworms for the croakers and gecks.

    My favorite to use are dubia roaches.
    They also come in a variety of sizes.
    All of my pets love them.
    They are nutritious.
    Easy to breed/keep.
    Don't smell.
    pretty quiet.
    Easy to handle.
    All in all a pretty good staple.
