Common frogs are carnivorous and survive on a diet of invertebrates, such as flies, worms, snails and slugs, although they have been known to eat smaller amphibians. They use their long, sticky tongue to catch their prey. Their tadpoles feed on algae in the water.

    Toads

    Their habitat

    They are most commonly found in damp area such as forests, grasslands, gardens, wetlands, and even deserts. The majority of toads prefer areas that are moist, as they need it to stop their skin drying out and for laying eggs in water. That's why they are often found near ponds, streams, and other water sources.

    Their diet

    Toads aren't fussy eaters and will eat almost anything they can catch. They normally eat insects such as beetles, ants, moths, and crickets. They also snack on other small invertebrates like worms, spiders, and even some snails

    Some larger toads can eat bigger prey like some small rodents, lizards or even other amphibians is they get the chance. They are excellent hunters and use their sticky toungue to quickly pull their prey back into their mouth. What a toad eats really depends on its size and environment.
