What Do Tree Frogs Eat?

Tree frogs are a member of the Bufonidae family which comprises of approximately 300 different species. Tree frogs eat mostly a variety of insects, such as flies, moths, worms, grasshoppers and crickets. Traditionally (and as the name suggests), tree frogs tend to spend most of their lifetime in trees or other high growing vegetation. Green tree frogs however, are common house pets in their native Australia.

They live a long time, in some cases over 25 years and are easy to maintain and seem to have adapted well to life in confined spaces. They will also tolerate a small amount of handling, which makes them desirable children’s pets. In the wild most frogs eat only insects, and this should not change if you are keeping them as pets. The most common dietary problems in frogs are related to a lack of calcium or too much protein in the diet.

You can buy calcium powders from selected pet shops which should be combined with a multivitamin powder before dusting on food prior to feeding your frog. The best way to do this is like you would with a roasting bag. Put the insects in the bag, add a pinch of the calcium/multivitamin powder and shake it up so the insects are fully coated.

It is important to not mix large quantities of this powder at a time as the calcium will denature the vitamins. In terms of high protein diets such as young mice or strips of meat, it is advisable to steer well clear as foods like these will put a strain on the frog’s organs, particularly the kidneys, and if fed regularly could lead to gout, irreversible kidney disease and ultimately death.

Tree toads generally eat a variety of insects. You will be surprised to know that tree topes living in the wild also eat fish. A tree frogs diet is a little different and more varied then that of a frog that lives on land or in the swamp. They eat gut-loaded crickets, their own miniature tadpoles, guppies, spiders and worms. Tree frogs are a member of the Bufonidae family which comprises of 300 odd different species. Frogs, toads and tree toads are all members of the same family. Even though they are called tree frogs, you should not mistake their diet to be greens, fruits or vegetables. Tree frogs do not eat any kind of leaves either.

Tree frogs eat a variety of bugs and critters. They also eat some plats,such as, small mushrooms, some leaves like clovers and specific herbs, and some types of grass like weeds and thick grasses.Even some alges sometimes. They do eat crickets and small grass hopper. Their favs are knats and flys though. They love to eat those!! =) try them and you will definitely be results.

They love to eat baby crickets they provide a lot of nutrition and calcium my baby tree frog can't get enough.now for the living envierment they live around ponds lakes bayous. Ect. So I would buy bark from petco or something and keep a thin layer of water on top of the bark but still have a water bowl and I would have artificial plants (real plants are harder to keep clean and alive) and you can buy crickets at petco petsmart or any pet store that carries reptiles or amphibians I would get 10 small crickets every 2 weeks and keep 5 in the cage at a time. Hope this will help you.
:-).

Mostly crickets but they will eat bugs such as spiders or flies but tree frogs only eat bugs alive

Be careful about the crickets they will eat the frogs eyelid off when it is asleep but yes the can defiantly eat them they can eat spiders?gross well yeah I just wanted you to know that crickets will eat off the eyelid of any amphibian so make sure they eat them all befor they go to sleep   

      BE CAREFUL

They like to eat crickets you can get some at a pet store

Tree frogs eat just abot any kind of bug that they can get

Tree frogs eat spiders and flies..I have my own tree frog

Insects and worms

Usually insects flies and mosquitoes.

Layer of rocks, water slightly below the rocks cover the rocks with loose laying moss. Tree frogs eat tiny files and bugs, small like fruit files. You can attract the files by leaving banana peels outside. It really would be best to put him back where you found him, so he can be on his way,as he would know how to fulfill his needs better than we could guess. Either way good luck.

Frogs can jump high. They also eat insects. The baby frogs are tadpoles. Frogs can live out of water and in water. Frogs mainly eat flies, drangonflies ,ants,. They also eat insects that live in trees. But tree frogs on the other hand like to stay in trees.they jump up to 10 feet. Frogs have tadpoles in the water while the aldut is still in the trees. And thats what I think about tree frogs.

I have a tree frog I found it by my pool I put it in a dish with some water and dirt and it hasn't left in days he wont leave I feed him ants and fly's. Should I put him put side ive put his dish out side but he wont get out of it.

I have 8 tree frogs living in my pool and I keep learning more things about them each time.they eat a lot of crickets but other bugs too.

My husband had an unexpected guest with him in the shower this morning.It was a tree frog and it scared him because just when he reached for the shampoo it jumped- he nearly had a stroke.

I have had a tree frog living in a plan that I inadvertently brought him in-in Oct. He has been living in my bathroom in a plant since then. I took the plant outside on a recent nice day and he buried himself further in the ground. Sometimes he hops out of the plant, but always returns. Is he foraging when he leave his plant home? When do you think I should try to put him out again?

Frogs mostly eat insects, their tongue has a sticky substance that allows them to flick the tongue out and catch the insect especially flys and they are stuck to the substance and they swallow them the best to you don't know what they take in for liquid other than possibly dew drops or drops of water from plants the best to you....

If you are wanting to feed a frog, remember that they see only things which are moving, so sadly for the food item (!) It has to be alive. Or, if you are very patient you can wiggle it very gently with a tooth pick or something like that so the frog thinks it is alive. Stay still yourself though or the frog will be too afraid of you to move itself.

I found 2 tree frogs by my pool n got them in a 10 gallon tank with branches through out  an water an rocks an all that even a light but I don't turn it on just to see them but the one stays in one spot an never moves, is that normal? I just found em last night but he moved around a little then has just stayed still today the other one doesnt move much are they ok?

My kitten just tried eating a tree frog about 30 minutes ago, after the first bite he started to profusely foam from the mouth, (about a few tablespoons of foam) and he was whipping his head back and forth and shaking his head rapidly, I thought he was dying so I grabbed him and pried open his mouth and shoved it into a bowl of water to clean it out, are tree frogs poisonous or do they just secrete a defense foam to detoured predators, let me know if you know any of this info. I'm just curious now

PS ( he is doing just fine 10 minutes later playing with his toys)

I  think water frogs eat little chunks of worms and and you have to kill tadpole and cut them up in Little bitty chunks and make sure you check your water frog every once in a while were you know it is nt dead or check if it is happy o.k.

If you can catch flies give the frog them & what to put in the container? Well I put in some river rocks, some fresh room temp water & 1 or 2 twigs, oh and don't pick up your frog without your hands being wet otherwise the acid in your skin will burn and kill the frog.

Frogs basically are carnivores and usually eat other creatures like bug, worms, flies, they enjoy eating cricket's a lot, but they mostly prefer insects.

Frogs basically are amphibian coming from the arrangement Anura, earlier referred to as Salientia. Full grown frogs are usually typified by their long hind legs, short body, obtruding eyes and the lack of tail. Nearly all frogs live a semi-aquatic lifestyle, but can move about on land easily by jumping and climbing. They characteristically give their eggs in puddles, ponds or lakes, and their larvae, known as tadpoles.

The division of frogs vary from the tropical region to sub-artic regions, but a lot of species are found in tropical rainforest. On the other hand, population of particular frog species are considerably declining.

Tree frogs live in the rain forest and eat on small insects and bugs

To my knowledge tree frogs eat smaller insects. There are many around my house and the areas they inhabit are usually the less buggy ones.

They eat anything which moves (insects) and also food which you could open their mouth using a card and slot the food in.

Frogs should eat about 10 mosquito's or flies a day. Thats what my friend told me. If its hard to get the bugs then use fly paper. If you do that daily it probably will live longer.

Hi,
