I feed him every other day and on the days i do feed him i normally give him 2 large superworms (one in the morning and one before bed). When i first got him i would put crickets in but i never noticed him eating them but they would disapear so im guessing he would eat them. I just bought some earthworms and will see if he likes them tomorrow morning i always sprink him with minerals and calcium to keep him healthy. I have never seen him poop yet though, is that a bad thing?

thanks
Superworms are bad if fed to often. The chitin that their exoskeleton is made up of is not digestable and can cause impaction(severe constipation) which can result in death if not passed. They should be fed a variety of foods. Crickets,earthworms,and dubia cockroaches should be used as the frogs staple food source. Superworms,mealworms,waxworms,and pinky mice should be fed sparingly. Superworms,mealworms,and waxworms can be fed to your frog once a week if that. Mice(when your frog is large enough to eat them) should only be given no more than once a month if at all.

If you want to see if he/she needs to poop you can soak him/her in luke warm de-chlorinated water with 2 drops of honey disolved in the water.

Temps need to be 80 to 85 during the day and 75 to 79 at night. Babies and juviniles day time temp should be no higer than 82 and at night no lower than 78.

Try the soak and keep me posted.
