First Time Frog Owner

Does the food have to be living in order for them to eat it? Usually yes they like the hunt, many wont touch dead ones

MANY won't touch the dead ones? More like none. Aside from Bufo marinus and some other large toads, frogs will not eat food that isn't moving, no matter what.

It depends, if you tong feed and kind of jiggle the food infront of them many will take it. (If they are used to tong feeding)

Feeding from tongs is different. I meant just eating unmoving dead food.
