    Default Sheldon Questions.... Dont know If I should be worried.

    Ok, I only feed Sheldon as much as he wants. When He gets full he will start freaking out and burrowing himself really fast like he is hiding from the food, it's cute And then comes up every other day to eat. Well the last 4 days he has been up and out. Well, Thursday I went out and bought 30 crickets. Minus 2 dead ones and 2 that he didn't want tonight, he has eaten 26 in 4 days. Is that common or should I stop feeding him as he wants? After feeding today he did his pacman spin, as I've come to call it, and completely covered himself up. Another question, He does a Hard swallowing type thing, is that him just trying to get his crickets down or should I be worried? Also a few pics of the fat little guy!

    These guys have ravenous appetites while growing. I'm not sure what you mean by a hard swallow though, maybe a video next feeding to show everyone what you mean?

    If you can get nightcrawlers or roaches you won't go through as many feeders.

    I'll try to get one. And unfortunately I'm highly allergic to roaches so they are not an option and he doesn't like nightcrawlers because they don't move enough and only eats from tongs when he wants. I had a bigger frog before so I knew he had a huge appetite but I wasn't sure if a little guy should be eating that much. And the only thing I.can describe the hard swallow as right now is if and you really have to swallow hard to and you really have to swallow hard to get it down maybe that'l maybe that'll help

    My frog does not have an appetite like that he wont touch crickets eats an occasional wax worm and a chunk of night crawler but very minimal, he has got good humidity and temp he just likes to burrow and sit he does seem to have grown, but he is not aggressive or anything could this mean there is something wrong?

    Thanks Alex

    Thank sucks about the roaches. So crickets it is lol. Keeps trying with the worms he might develop a taste for them. Sounds like Sheldon is doing good though.
