I've had an ADF (African Dwarf Frog) for about 7 months. The pet store said they will eat fish food flakes, but i have not once seen him do this. He hasn't died, so i assume he's getting his food from somewhere. I got a new ADF yesterday to keep my old one company, and i want to make sure they don't die or anything. What exactly should i feed them? Can you reccommend a particular brand or type of food? Thanks.

There is some basic info here:

I feed mine frozen/defrosted bloodworms, and he seems to be happy with them
I use whatever brand is in the freezer at the petstore, although Hikari ones are very high quality, and more expensive.

Frozen bloodworms using a turkey baster or small syringe or foot-long tweezers. Feeding them directly is a great help.
As far as a quick way of sexing:
Males tend to have white bumps behind their forearms - kind of look like white pads or pimples (aka nuptial pads). Females don't have these. Instead, females have a pronounced butt "bump" - a slight protrusion between their back legs on their butt.
I use Hikari's brand.
