Do Dwarf Afican Frogs Eat Baby Snails?

Do frogs eat them?

Yes, yes they do, In fact Takashi Amano himself uses them to control snails (and this is the guy who has had shrimp named after him after he introduced them to the hobby for algae eating).

But I don't think they could eat the really small ones though, I've seen them eat snails of 3mm and up .

Are we talking african dwarf frogs or clawed frogs? My adf is too small to eat a snail. I have plenty of small and large snails in my aquarium and he never touches them. just my experience though. African clawed frog is completely different though...
good luck

ADF's eat them too, not like think shelled MTS, but the regular pest tadpole snails are relished.
