Frog food..... I'm outta it! Please Help!

[44Wolves]

Hey, all!

AS you may know, the Winter months are nearing, sending almost all bugs into hiding. Now, I NEED bugs. I have a Copes Gray Tree frog living with a toad, and Her "Baby" [It's just a baby we found.]

Now,
Flo, Named after "Progressive"'s Flo, Our first frog and quite an oldie. The tree frog.
Coconut, The mommy, a burly big brown toad.
and Black-eye, The Baby, has a black ridge over his eye instead of brown.

Usually eat wild bugs, such as moths and worms. But I can't find them. Does anyone know of an alternate food source that is VERY cheap and plentiful? Maybe like, Bread... or what?

~~~~~~~~~~~~NOTE:~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Petco crickets would be no good, as there are many places to hid and they would never catch them.
Mealworms are way to small for them.

super worms or buy some night crawlers from a bait shop

Get a bunch of mealworms and let them breed like crazy! You'll never run out and they are easy to keep!

most petstores and bait shops will also have crickets.

i've heard of people making meat slurry so flies lay their eggs in it, then letting the maggots grow, rinsing the slurry off the maggots and feeding that. If there are ANY flys around

Frogs will only eat moving prey

The mealworms and crickets at our pet store are 1.00/dozen. Got a friend with a roach problems?

I kept an African Clawed frog alive for 4 years in a small tank on my kitchen counter with little balls of raw hamburger. I would just take a little and put it on the end of a wooden skewer and wiggle it in his face and he would grab and eat it...eventually got to the point where I just had to drop it in and he would use his little legs to pull it into his mouth...If you try this though remove any uneaten meat as it will obviously foul the tank quickly.

nightcrawler, meal worms, crickets, red worms you can find the worms cheeper at a bait store than a pet store
