Thanks for the insight with your experence. I bought the mouse as a hopper. The shop i bought him from charged $2.49 each, which made me flip, because I seem to remember them being much cheaper. We bought 3 of them, fed the other two to our beardies, and the bill ended up being just over $8, for three dang small mice. So glad im getting a ASF colony in a few days, haha

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
I won't be feeding them to him that often, maybe once every two weeks at most. but with my dubia colony, its no problem to have a good staple food.

Here are some updated pictures of junk.

A video showing all my critters is a good idea, might just have to do that soon
