Title: Baby Desert Tree Frogs, Food Supply

Hi, I am alittle concerned, I just caught a bunch of tadpoles the other day, and I wanted to see what kind of frog they would be. Wow, I never knew how fast these bugers grow. (I am raising green frogs, and leapard frogs as well in another tub), Anyhow I just learned that the frogs that I caught are Desert Tree frogs, but I can't find, well I am having a hard time finding online what they eat after their transformation into a frog.
I tried feeding them bloodworms but there not eating them, it's been two days, and I am worried. Please help! They are about 1/2 a mm. Yeah Tiny!
Hope you can help

Tiny frogs need tiny food. They will eat live tiny animals. If your yard is poison-free, you can catch little bugs for them. As far as what you can buy at the pet store, try these: blackworms (which are alive and can live in or out of water short term), pinhead crickets, wingless fruit flies, or baby mealworms (you have to breed them yourself to get those). If you can't get them to eat within a week, I would release them to find their own food (actually, I would release them anyway).
