OK, I have a leopard tadpole that JUST turned into a frog... for a few days i wasn’t sure if it was eatting the tadpole food it had..i went to the store and bought small crickets for him to eat... He’s really reluctant to eat them (probably bcuz they are the same size as him) I haven’t seen him eat anything and i’m worried. What do I give him? Is he soposed to be that small he’s only and inch... can i feed him anything type of fruit/veg? What else do they eat... google just says they eat crickets...

small crickets should be fine. are you getting "regular" crickets or are you asking specifically for small crickets?

thats what i was thinking at first, but with a frog at one inch in length you shouldnt have to go through the trouble of fruit flies when the small crickets that are only like 2 weeks old should suffice perfectly.

I specifically asked for small crickets those were the ones that were about thte size of my frog .. he didn’t show interest in them.. he’s a "froglett" but i dont know if he’s soposed to be eating the tadpole pellets or the crickets.. it doesn’t look like he’s eatting either of them..I have no idea what to give him..

he should be eating small crickets. and small crickets should only be about half an inch long. try and get smaller crickets, either from the same place or a different source. he wont eat the pellets anymore, all they are going to do is dirty up the water.

Is it normal for them to "freak out" when you come by their tank... when i walk by i notice it jumping and swimming fast in every direction...

leopard frogs are especially jumpy. i "got rid of mine" when i realized how much it was stressing the other tankmates. dont worry about it.
