    Yes, offer small crickets every night. Don't for get to dust the food before offering them to your frog.

    okay thanks, someone told me that i need to dust food with calcium twice a week, and i also need to give him/her vitamins once a week. Is this enough for the size of my frog or do i need to give it more calcium and vitamins than that recommended amount.

    That's excellent advice. Follow that dosing schedule.

    He looks fine to me. I think you're freaking out over nothing. If you're worried about impaction just give him a soak in Luke warm de-chlorinated water with a couple drops of honey dissolved in it. Soak for 15 minutes.

    I new to these frogs, and want to make sure it is fine, that lump did not look right for some reason.

    A frog cant look impacted, unless it ate a large rock...
    My albino horned frog has a very large and firm lump protuding from both sides, because it just ate a large mouse. My Budgetts frog one ate way too many fish in a row (like 8) and its tummy had had several large lumps that were moving around because the fish were still alive in its stomach.
    Its perfectly normal for them to look oddly plump after they eat. Not all too different than after a snake has eaten.
