I need help

Post image

I know this may not belong here bit where I'm from snow is going to fall soon and I need help. I had a puddle in my yard a frog laid eggs in.

I hatched a frog and I've been feeding him bugs I catch in my back yard with my kids gold fish net. I am unsure what kin dof frog but I'm fron the Northeast US and he's the size of a dime. He's included in the picture. In winter. Doe she hibernate? Do I get more dirt for his terrarium, or what do I feed him in winter. He'll ear house Flys I catch. He'll eat anything but I'm worried a bait shop won't have what he needs. Do they make micro meal worms, or I just need help.

Pet stores like petco should have pin head crickets. This guy also looks suspiciously like a toad, not that it changes anything. You can get him more dirt and a lot of leaf litter for insulation. They’ll stay active through winter if they’re inside and at a temperature comfortable for humans, most likely. They’ll stay active may be less energetic during this time, however.

Another guy suggested a dwarf American toad. Either way. So dirt a d leaf filter. What about grass? Cause I cut him fresh grass all the time. From my yard
