Hello, New pixie owner

Update...

I woke up last night to the sound of a male bullfrog croaking very loudly!! Diesel now weighs 120 grams! He has gone into beast mode after molting. I saw him pulling some skin off of the front of his face about two weeks ago.. Since then his jaw seems wider and he's been more aggressive at feeding. Poor Diesel is still in his original tank. Almost done setting up his breeder land/water setup. I bought a fluval 206 and its working great so far. My 50 watt aqueon pro heater doesn't seem up to the task, two days now and its still not at temp. Ordering 100w version tomorrow. Waiting for screen top, rocks, heat pad, different heater, and a uvb bulb will be on its way soon. He's atleast 3in svl. Is it time to change his feedings from daily to every other or every 2-3 days.

Thanks for all the help and information. His terrarium will be finished soon and Ill post pics.

Congrats on your frogs progress and yes, at 3 in. you can go into a every other day feeding. Would wait until African Bullfrog is around 5 in. to go into every 2-3 day feedings. Can always fine tune based on the individual frog feeding response. Good luck!

Thank you Carlos, I have begun extending the time period between feedings. Right now around 30-36 hours. Crickets, earthworms mainly. I will be doing the roach things soon, I am sure. Diesel has begun burrowing after feedings now. Usually, it was the water bowl to soak.

Ok, I have a peculiar questions. Do frogs sleep. Cause everytime I look at him, hes already looking at me...

Thanks again!

You are welcome! Yep, they sleep! Mine keep it's eyes open during day but is not alert and sometimes it closes a translucent eyelid over eyes.

Just finished setting up the 40gal breeder tank. Heat pad, Fluval 206, 150w Red bulb, UVB 2.0, Fan, Aqueon Pro 50w and 100w. Just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful suggestions and information I got from everyone at the forum. The tank is finished and he's much happier now. I wanted to maximize the volume of water without making it too deep. I installed a piece of plexi glass that rests on two tupperware containers. It provides the perfect depth for my African Bullfrog and as he grows I can cut the height of the containers and make it deeper.

Nice setup. Is that a glass/plexi lid? Good idea
