We always fed ours goldfish food. They seemed to thrive on it as ours lived and grew legs, and got to the hopping and leaping stage.
I had a friend in Florida, whose family enjoyed eating frog legs. They would go out at night with nets to catch them. He kept a few as full grown bullfrogs pets and they ate anything he put in front of them including cooked spahetti. In Florida, the supply of food items is endless and always available. In Pennsylvania, not so much, so we fed them nightcrawlers and crickets, and other bugs like house flies, until the weather warmed up and grasshoppers were out and about.
That is one ofthe main reasons our parents only allowed us to keep them for a limited amount of time, the other was because lots of tadpoles in glass jars stink after a few days.
