Junk's first hopper mouse

[MonsterPyxie]

Thats a big meal for such a little girl!!! Pre-killed was a good choice though.

yea, was a hair big for em. next time I feed him them I'm sure it will be big enough to handle them fine.

I feed a pinky for the first time this week too. Seemed to like it. I did take some pointers from your setup. I need to add more bedding. I bet your frog digs all over the place.

I use rodents If its a life or death situation. Very very sparingly. Too much causes blindness,and organ issues and of curse you heard this before ,obesity.

yea I like the deep substrate and it appears too also. He digs all the way to the bottom lately. funny seeing his fat gut on the bottom, haha

I figure every once and a while can't be that bad. No doubt the frogs come across them in the wild quite often and gobble them up.

Not as often as you think. They eat mostly there own kind, Then they eat bugs,snakes ,rodents and birds.

I can tell you, that was not a hopper. I breed HUNDREDS of mice and rats for the snakes, and that was a sm adult weighing about 15g. Hoppers will run about 5-10g which are aka Weaned mice.

That mouse is a little too big, a pinkie fed sparingly to Junk at that size would be suitable. Good that you know to pre-kill it though, that's always a concern when they tackle a mouse and the head is still outside their jaw. I believe in the wild these frogs deal with a lot more invertebrates than rodents, reptiles and or amphibians. While a mouse fed occasionally can offer great protein and a good Ca:Ph ratio, it's very hard on their digestive organs to process the mammalian tissue causing complications later on in life if fed too often. Great for a little bit of variety every month or two though. Anyway back to the video, love that little guy Rob. Can't wait to see Junk grow more, looks like he has a good personality in the video. Just doesn't care about all the distractions and what not haha, mines a tough one to keep calm. From the looks of it I would say your frog is a 2 1/2 month - 3 month old female if I had to guess. Leaning more on the side of a female, you said you always got room for one more though . Great video man, love to see updates on him or her. You should do an update on your whole bathroom with the roaches and him included with commentary haha. +1
