Abstract: An apparatus for feeding frogs which includes a suspended frame carrying a hopper for containing particles of food suitable for the frogs, with a wheel mounted on the frame and mounted for rotation with respect to the hopper and carrying engaging hooks for engaging the particles of food in the hopper and dropping the particles to the frogs located beneath the apparatus. In a preferred embodiment the apparatus is automated and will supply food particles to the frogs in timed sequences.

Abstract: A food specifically for frogs which is formulated to induce the frogs to swallow, and is characterized by a nutriment pellet or particle of selected composition and size, with strands of hair mixed with the nutriment and projecting in random distribution from the surfaces of the pellet. The frog food developed for smaller frogs may be rolled out and pelletized or otherwise compacted to a desired size according to a process which is a part of this invention.

Abstract: An apparatus for feeding frogs which includes a suspended frame carrying a motor driven conveyor chain equipped with several spaced carrying members, each designed to transport a food carrier, to which is attached a line having a particle of food secured to the free end thereof. As the conveyor chain is caused to move, the food is pulled at a predetermined speed across the surface or floor area in the vicinity of the frogs, thereby imparting movement and simulating a lifelike action to the food particles. The apparatus is automated and is adapted to continually supply new food particles to the frogs while simultaneously retrieving and collecting the food carriers for additional use.

Abstract: An apparatus for feeding frogs which includes a bowl-shaped depression mounted in a box, the interior of the bowl being covered with a relatively thin plastic sheet. A motor equipped with an agitator is mounted inside the box with the agitator positioned immediately adjacent to and between the bowl and the plastic sheet. Activation of the motor effects movement of the plastic sheet as the agitator slowly rotates, thereby imparting movement to food particles which are placed in the bowl and on top of the plastic sheet.
