Horned Frogs generally don't tame down that well, which is a pity. I put my African Bullfrogs in a plastic wash basin that they sell for dishes at Walmart, and I put it on a coffee table in the TV room. I feed the frogs while I watch TV!

Hi Guys:
Have to agree with John. Given the option I will usually feed my horned frog out of his water dish. He is rather "grumpy." Although recently I have a schedule of feeding him late at night, 11:00 PM, and if things remain quiet usually he will let me put him in a separate conatiner and he will eat away. Why 11:00pm, well it needs to be quiet, which correlates strongly with my 7 year old being fast asleep !
My AFB (edulus) is generally fine to handle before being fed. Once he starts it is very much like a shark feeding frenzy, and wiggling fingers would be a big no no.
Both are very enjoyable in their own way.

Hello,
Thank you very much for the recommendations,now eats very well and soon will make a year since the purchase, only now I have a question, knowing your sex.For the moment I have not heard singing so maybe could be a female.
...there is some other form of sex difference apart from singing and size ?
Thanks again![]()
Hello:
I am not 100 % sure, but I believe besides size, vocalization, that in most horned frogs the male will possess more coloration on the throat when fully mature. I know in my ornata that this is very much the case, as he has a good amount of speckling. I had read this in a good amount of material, but I am hesitant to say that it is 100 % accurate.
I heard mention of trying to sex by the shape of their snout, (males more blunt, female more pointed) yet this seems questionable at best.
Perhaps if John reads this he may be able to add this.
Hope it is of some help.
Chris
Thank you so much Chris
This frog not has spots where the bottom is even black but only one area..
Grateful for your help![]()
