    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have two baby pickerel frogs(about under an inch)that i just set up in a woodland type tub with a large pool,i was wondering what i can offer as food.I know the adults take insects and such but i know these guys are too small for crickets and the like.

Any help would be great

Thanks
Jason.
 
Jason, they will take small-medium crickets or earthworms. they will try and eat any insect that moves around them. Good Luck.
 
Thanks Ed,I'll see what i can get them to eat tonight when i get home from work.
 
They ate some small crickets that i dusted,Thanks!

Are these guys alright to keep at room temp?
 
I used to keep Pickerels, as well as Leopard frogs. The small ones will eat small crix, as you already found out. :) Size-appropriate earthworms are great; they slurp them up like spaghetti!
I see you are in MA. I would think that room temperature would be fine for now. If it is similar to what we have going on here in western NY (native pickerel habitat.) In cooler weather I would probably add some heating element unless your house is kept above 70 degrees.
I know that picks seem pretty rare out here. Leopard frogs are common, green frogs moreso. Were yours wild-caught or from a store? They are cool frogs :)
 
I was out fishing with a friend yesterday and decided to walk through a bog to look for hatchling painteds and came across hundreds of these guys jumping along.I had to be carefull where i stepped or i would have killed a lot of them.So yup they are WC as of yesterday.I usually like to get Cbb animals but them being so young and abundant i figured i would go for it.
