Like most frogs the Rocket Frog is a carnivore that uses its long tongue to feed on moths, spiders, worms and other invertebrates.\u00a0\u00a0 While they are out hunting this tree frog needs to be wary about potential predators due to their small size.\u00a0 In fact they can be attacked from any direction since they make a scrumptious meal for flying animals such as birds and bats. They are also favoured by land-dwelling creatures such as foxes and cats.\u00a0 If that weren’t bad enough they are also at threat in the water by fish and other frogs.\u00a0 Life sure is tough when you are a tiny tree frog.<\/p>\n
