Hey, I just purchased 2 African Dwarf Frogs that I put in a 2 gallon critter keeper. i had one before with my betta and had trouble getting him to eat. Someone on here suggested frozen bloodworms, so I bought some this time around. Only trouble is, I don't know how to feed this stuff to them! How much, how often, does it need to thaw, etc.?!?! I still have the frog and tadpole bites from before and I have some freeze dried bloodworms that I can try to. Anyone keep these guys? If so, let me know about your experiences...Thanks!

I got mine to eat the blocked freeze dried worms. Also with the frozen blood worms just break off a little piece and feed it to them. Just let it float in the tank over night and in the morn it should have been eatten or on the bottem of the tank. I feed mine everynight when I went to bed. The loose freeze dried worms are not very good because it's hard for them to see to eat them.
My roomate has maintained a tank with 8 African Dwarf Frogs for over a year now.
She feds them frozen blood worms. The dry kind you buy not frozen can cloud water big time. The frozen bloodworms are in cubes. You just plop a cube in the water, and it will get wet and sink. The frogs will know where it is.
She also fed hers fish flakes, algae disks, and anything the other fish are eating.

Hm, the frozen ones I got are large pieces that you just sort of break apart, no cubes or anything. Should I just throw in a pinch?

Sounds like the stuff I got for my newts and frogs. Ya break off one cube and the break that into like 2 or 3 pieces, throw a piece in and it'll figure out it's there . . . sooner or later!!
