alternative to frozen blood worms?

i just bought a dwarf african frog, but as a veggie, i shudder at the thought of feeding him the cubes 'o' frozen blood worm.

is there anything i could feed him instead? i mean, i can suck it up if need be, but if there's any alternative, it'd be awesome!

oh, and: is there anywhere online that i can get some good info on the dwarf african frog? i'm fairly new to this whole amphibian thing.
Answers:
They will be quite happy to eat freeze dried blood worms, tubiflex worms, and all sorts of other freeze dried beasties.

try frozen shrimp, and by the way , why didnt u do the research BEFORE u bought the frog?
dried bloodworm
The frog will have to have protein to survive. Just because you are a vegetarian doesn't mean that the froggy should be one also. You really should have done a bit of research before purchasing a frog. Dont give the cube, of whatever you are going to feed it, to the frog while it is frozen. Allow it to thaw in a small feeding dish first. Good luck.
www.allaboutfrogs.com and www.aquariumfish.net Good luck. I am rasing tadpoles.
well i'm not sure what i can do for a "veggie" but you could try feeding him crickets. he has to have something to eat that is meat living or frozen
Well if you can't stand thought of feeding your froggie meat. You bought the wrong pet. He's a meat eater. You can get freeze dried blood worms, and brine shrimp cube, but they don't tend to eat them as readily. It's possible they may eat pellet, or sick food, but your result may vary. Note all the food needs a meaty base like fish, shrimp, or worms.


PS- You do realize that nearly all fish flakes contain ground fish, worms, or shrimp. The ones that don't won't give most fish a healthy diet.
