Most frogs eat mainly plants when they are tadpoles and switch to a diet of mainly insects once they turn into froglets. Some tadpoles also eat little bits of dead animal matter that float down to the bottom of the water, and the tadpoles of a few species will even eat an insect or other invertebrate (in-VER-teh-breht), which is an animal without a backbone. Not all adult frogs will only eat insects. Many of the larger species will gulp down anything they can catch and swallow. Bullfrogs, which are common throughout much of North America, are one type of frog that will almost eat anything that comes within reach, including ducklings and other bullfrogs.

My dad and I were cleaning out the weeds in our garden and happened to find two toads. My sister and I were so happy to be able to take care of some toads this is my sisters 2 time raising and my approxamatily 5-6 time I have been raising for ever. I am very excited to start a farm of frogs and toads sooner or later we will have a ton. But I am still looking for different types of tips and foods, and also if there is a way to help any specific injurys if something happens. sincerely, Alyssa Smith.
