Froglets on the loose

My allotment is full of tiny frogs/toads about 1/4 inch long. Please can anyone tell me what they eat.

anything that's insect like that will fit in their mouth. specifically the distance between their eyes.

plus worms, slugs and snails. but he snails have to be somewhat smaller.
congratulations you've just got your own swat team for garden pest removal

I'm very pleased to see them indeed. But it is very difficult manouvring about the plot and not treading on them. Not sure they are going to be doing much slug eating at the moment. Ants seems more the right sort of size.

but slugs start off small too and get eaten all the same, obvioulsly they won't eat things which are far too big, but one of my captive frogs ate a wrom which was half as long again as h ewas the other day when i accidentally dropped it in his tank. then sat there looking smug
