About 5 years ago my boyfriend surprised me with a young African Bullfrog (not knowing how big they got) as a gift. He has been doing great and growing big since then.

He seemed to outgrow large crickets so with advice from a pet store associate I started buying him superworms. Well recently I read those are bad as a staple diet because they cause obesity. So now I am going with redworms and earthworms.

I just tried feeding him the other day and I noticed he was not able to catch anything (and they are definitely not fast worms). He sits there and sticks his tongue out a little ways, but does not reach anything. He just keeps doing this until he gives up. I even tried handing them to him, but he still couldn't get them in his mouth. He just kind of licked them.

I read an article about weakened bones in obese frogs and not being able to catch prey being a symptom. Now I'm worried he has that because of all of the superworms. (Last time I listen to a store associate). Is there any other reason why he might not be able to catch food anymore? He used to be so lively and get so excited. Now he just sits there like a lump and put no effort in.
