They are obmivores
they prefer dried blood worms. but if you go to http://www.wildcreatioms.com/ you can buy food pellets that taste like blood worms that your African dwarf frog(s) will enjoy
From my personal experience, they DO NOT eat fish flakes. They only eat live or frozen food or certain pellet food. I myself use 'JMC HIGH PROTEIN FISH FOOD' which they seem to like a lot.

African dwarf frogs probably can eat fish food - it has the proper nutritional ingredients. The more pressing issue is, will they eat it. And the answer to that is "maybe". It will depend on the individual frog.

This is probably one of the most common questions that I get asked. Your best bet is to experiment and try out how much food seems to be good for your frog. Try dumping in 3 or so crickets per feeding session per frog, and see whether the frogs seem to still be hungry or starts to look underfed. Remember, frogs really do seem to have distinct behaviors, even within a species! Some will gorge themselves on any available tasty morsels regardless of need, while others will only eat once in a while when hungry. Excessive feeding is not healthy for many frogs, though some simply choose to ignore excessive food when not hungry. Determining how much to feed the frog is often a matter of understanding your frog's personality! Other types of food can be tried (ex. mealworms, waxworms, grasshoppers,etc.) But crickets seem to be the "food of choice."

African reed frogs eat a lot and have a large appetite. Their main diet consists of crickets and fruit flies.

It depends if you have a big frog or a small one.A big one would eat brine shrimp and bloodworms.A small frog will eat Frog and Tadpole bites.

As many as he will eat. Remove anything he hasn't eaten in five or so minutes.

They sell special frog food or frog/ fish flakes at pet stores. They usually last a long time because you only need to feed it one flake or tablet a day.

bugs I know they eat fish, earth worms and meal worms. Just make sure you cut the head off the meal worms bc the guy at the Pet store told me they could eat thru the frogs intestines.
