A. Make sure your hands are wet when ever your frog gets big enough to pick up== It hurts their skin otherwise... Crickets and mealworms are sold at petstores for these=and you need to get the powdercoat for their food before giving it to the frogs. Just go and ask for the calcium/vitamin powder for live bait at your local pet store when your frog gets big enough. Enjoy our new pet!
