How long will a pet frog live, i would like to know what to feed a frog?


Answers:
Well, both questions depend upon the type of frog you have. Most predominantly land-dwelling frogs eat insects. You can feed a bullfrog earthworms too...and several other species of frogs will eat earthworms. If you choose to feed your frog crickets, you need to either feed the crickets with a high-calcium diet or dust them with calcium powder prior to feeding. If the frog you have is an aquatic (underwater) frog such as an African clawed frog, they eat live fish, usually guppies or rosy reds...or anything in the tank small enough to swallow (i found this out the hard way)! i have also found that the clawed frogs will eat shrimp pellets (usually considered to be a fish food). Frogs as pets can live for many years, but again, how many depends upon the type. Best wishes!
Hello..pet frog ( ? ) ..if this is a wild caught frog, it is best to let him go ( where you found him ) for one thing they can carry contagious diseases that can make you or your pets sick ... if you bought this frog from a pet store, they will know what care it needs ..but all frogs eat bugs..some of the big toads or frogs will eat each other, frogs %26 mice..when they grow up..Take Care :)
I had an African dwarf clawed frog (an aquatic frog) that lived for almost 5 years. When I got him, I fed him frog food I was given. Over time, I ran out and fed him fish food (beta food pellets) and he did fine.

For non-aquatic varieties, I think you'd do well with freeze dried flies or other insect.
We had a pet frog that lived awhile. He was a tiny one that stayed underwater in a fish tank at all times. He got really big - the size of a normal outside frog. One day he jumped out of the tank %26 we found him dead on the steps. So be prepared, it may get big %26 then it will beable to jump out of your tank. There are these food cubes that soften %26 break apart in the water that you buy at the pet store - I can't remember what they're called though.
Many species of frogs and toads can live for surprisingly long times. They seem to average somewhere between 4 and 15 years. Most frogs and toads will eat all sorts of bugs and wiggly jiggly things. GOOD LUCK!
My African Dwarf Clawed frog is 2 years old and he has been eating the goldfish flakes that I feed my 3 Goldfish who are also 2 years old. This is the longest I've ever kept fish or frogs alive so I guess the food is good.
