As for dry foods messing up a frog's intestines (correct spelling, by the way) That is a possibility, but I wonder who is out in the wild making sure those hard bones get yanked out of every animal they eat.

Sorry, Grif knows me well enough to know that I can't stand people who act as though they know it all and have since birth. Stupid is an ugly word......uglier still when it's thrown out there in a nasty manner. If you can't find civilized words to express yourself, I suggest you not post at all.

Diets are debatable for these frogs because no research has seriously been done in the scientific community. We learn as we go. We've been breeding for 5 years and we don't know it all by a long shot!! We learn daily.
I already apologised for the way I wrote the reply. It was not my intension to hurt or insult anyone.
Hhere is an american brand of dry pelleted food available for aquatic frogs and newts and I found that when feeding this to frogs or newts for a long time, it gives intestinal problems and more.
I don't know it all, certainly not from birth. What I do know is that I've been keeping and breeding several species of reptiles and amphibians for more than 25 years now. Due to health reasens I had to slow down. And would like to concentrate on the Ceratophrys group if I may. I hoped to get in contact with others who chared my passion but one bad choise of words makes me a ... well never mind
