American bullfrog help?

[George]

I am totally new to this forum and i have some questions about some bullfrogs i just got. I'm housing them in an 18G Rubbermaid storage container. Will a 50-55G tank be enough space for them? right now their diet is just crickets, should i provide a more varied diet? how should i set up their tank?, and what plants (if needed) would be safe for them? Thanks for any replies.

first, welcome to the forum!!

to answer your question i need to know a few things...

- how many bullfrogs?
- about how big are they?
- and are they wild caught or were they bought at a store? (this will help determining what things to feed them)

-3 bullfrogs
-ranging from 2 1/4'' to 2 1/2''
-wild caught

[Jimbok3]

- 50 gallon tank is perfect for them
- food: large crickets, the ocasional pinkie
- in the wild they would eat crickets, mice, small birds, bats, and other frogs

- as for the plants that is not my expertice but there are other people in the forum who could help you with that.

Good luck!

In my bullfrog tank (55g) I have one froglet 2 1/2" and 2 tads and it is 50/50 land and water. I used wild grasses and some creeping ground cover that I have next to the trout ponds at my work. I feed mine crickets and have fathead(feeder fish) in the water, which he/she likes to chase. hope that helps
