Can frogs eat other food instead of bugs?

i wanna get a frog or toad but i dont want to feed him live bugs or een dead bugs.. is there something else i can feed them?
Answers:
There are aquatic frogs that you may want to look into... like albino clawed frogs who can eat fish...
also, adult pacman frogs can eat pinkies (newborn mice), but not exclusively...
honestly, if you're squeamish about bugs, then frogs probably aren't the pet for you.
here's some sites that you may find helpful and/or just fun.

Frogs usually only eat live food. I can't feed my Poison Arrow frogs anything dead, they have to be live.
I've seen frogs drinking Buds, so maybe after a couple of them they eat a curry or go for a kebab.
unfortunately, many frogs are carnivores, and feed on live bugs (like mosquitoes and worms) and even small fish. only tadpoles are vegetarians =/. HOWEVER! frogs will normally eat frozen, freeze dried, sun dried, pellet, [and live] foods. you can feed him berries or sunflower seeds, etc., and he should eat it.
you never know what your own frog might like. you just need to feed him some healthy things and see. good luck!
If you cant handle the heat stay out of the kitchen!
If you cant feed a frog what it needs to eat dont get a frog. Dont get a reptile period if its because your squeamish about insects. Feeding my ball python 2 adult LIVE mice every week or two does not bother me at all, and i assure you it looks much worse than a frog eating a cricket. I also buy DOZENS of crickets every week to feed my 4 lizards, and i find it interesting to watch them eat.
