And hopefully see if that makes any difference. Should be stocked at an aquarium/reptile shop/garden centre.


Being emaciated like he is, he probably finds himself always at the back of the queue for food being so weak.

I thought I had better point out that there is no way a wild British frog would eat the food you have suggested and in fact they only eat moving food, which is how they locate it. Tetrafauna in a jelly would appear and is dead and would be ignored. Tadpoles on the other hand would eat this.
