Question

What do African clawed frogs eat?

Answer 1

As tadpoles, African clawed frogs are exclusively filter feeders. Adult frogsbecome scavengers, eating living, dead or dying arthropods and other pieces of organic waste, including aquatic insect larvae, water insects, crustaceans, small fish, tadpoles, worms and freshwater snails.

Answer 2

African frogs have a very varied diet, and are scavengers in their natural environment. They may be fed commercially prepared foods (e.g., Tetra's ReptoMin), brine shrimp, shrimp pellets, waxworms, tubifex worms, bloodworms, mealworms, and insects, as well as feeder guppies and small minnows.
