    Default Question about setup

    I keep my baby bullfrogs in a 6qt(for my smaller baby) and 16 qt(for my bigger baby) I wondered if they would be on in tubs there whole lives? And what size tub would be suitable for them as adults?

    Your keeping them in a tub that is way to small for them. When full grow you need about a 110 gal and add 10 for each extra frog

    most people (and caresheets) say for a adult female a 20 gallon tank should do and for a adult male 30 gallon should do...i have a 40 for my 3 month old pixie and its sooo big lol but its gonna grow to fit right in.....i think anything over 40 is a little too big...they are very active frogs

    2-5 gallon tank for when they're babies. 15-20 gallon for rest of growth till adults. 40 gallon breeder is perfect for the rest of their life; anything above that is perfectly fine too, they'll use all that space.

    You do know that it will outgrow a 10 gal really quickly right?

    We all get busy haha. I appreciate all the help everyone! Ive been searching for proper cage sizes and honestly, everyone suggested something different. I was told a 10 gal for an adult female and a 15-20 gal for an adult male would be big enough. Honestly i didnt think that was right. Thats why i posted this. Thanks again for the help!
