What Do Frogs Eat? 🍽️🐸
Frogs are fascinating amphibians with diverse dietary needs. Their diet varies significantly depending on their species, habitat, and life stage.
Tadpoles’ Diet
Young tadpoles are herbivores, mainly feeding on algae and plant material. Some may nibble on detritus and tiny aquatic organisms.
Adult Frog Diet
As frogs mature, they become primarily carnivorous. Their diet commonly includes:
- Insects like flies, mosquitoes, and moths
- Smaller amphibians, including smaller frogs
- Worms and small crustaceans like shrimp
Different species have unique preferences and adaptations to catch their prey, using their sticky tongues and quick reflexes!
