Hmmm. Do you know if they've been tested for chytrid and ranavirus?

Niccce big fella ! Now he needs a handful of females to hang around ! wink
Haha! He is truly awesome. I will try to record him one of these days. He is so loud his call sometimes ripples through the water.
It's true, it's true...haha, he is music to ONLY a frog and a frog adoring mother's ears. He is so loud you can hear him all the way down the hall to my room, with the door closed.
He is starting to learn I am the feeder. He comes to the front of his pond when I am near.
It seems as though his favorite food is freshly molted dubias.
He was a great find. You are right...he definitely needs a nice girl friend. Perhaps then he won't need to call so loudly, lol

Somehow I don't think giving him a girlfriend will make him call less.. I have a feeling he may even call more.![]()
Bullfrogs in the wild are extremely loud.. I have a pond about a quarter mile down the road and in the spring I can hear them calling clear as day as well as tons of spring peepers. It's my favorite time of year.
You may be right, lol.
He has a few different calls. Sometimes he makes short calls like the sound of a rubber band, sometimes he makes loud, deep, long calls...usually around 5 or 6:00 am.

I have my bullfrogs in my bedroom. They may be loud but I must be used to it because I can sleep through their calls lol! I have males and females and it doesn't make a difference of how much they call. I only have one albino the other are normal except for a really dark baby that is very dark (looks black). I think it's cute their different calls. Sometimes they do the rubberband sound. Then there is this longer grating sound they make. The cutest of all to me is the little quarking sound they make when I feed them. They jump and take the food right out of my hand and then make that cute little noise. I guess it's a happy sound. The females make that sound too. Not a lot of people know, but female bullfrogs can also "call".
Also if you get another bullfrog make sure it is the same size. They will eat anything they can fit in their mouth. You should also have a huge tank! They are very territorial and will fight (both males and females). They headbutt each other, push each other and hop on top of them pushing them underwater. It may not seem harmful. But it is very stressful to the frogs. I only keep young bullfrogs together. Once they are older I only put two together and I have to watch to make sure there is no bullying. If so I have to separate. That is why I only have a few bullfrogs compared to my other frogs. I have 1 female albino. Then the two little normal guys (that includes the dark one). One I think is a boy. The other is still to small to know for sure.
Thanks guys!
That's awesome!
I love mine...even that loud long call. He is definitely one of my favorite frogs
.
He has gotten a tad bigger since those pictures. I watched him hunt his dubia last night. I put it on his rock. Boy, did he give it the stare-down, ha ha!
My only trouble in the tank is keeping his water plants alive. ? The lights. I have 2 GE 6500k bulbs above him, but they're not on much because of his eyes. Any ideas on lighting that has enough lumens to keep them alive without hurting his sight? I looked at aquarium lights but I'm not sure if they'll hurt his vision? If so, I'd rather just replace plants intermittently.
Thanks again!
I love my Bully!I still hope to get him a female friend in the future.

I have 3 males and 7 females abinos . 3-4" range ..And you are right some what. I have them in groups in sep.tanks. I have notice that the norm. color are way more meaner then the albinos! They just dont like the albinos. Ea. of my group are in 40 breeders. and they have been good. When I bred my normal color ones . I put 2 females and a male . and they were great. I had the water at 73-75 F. I had 1 batch ea before I donating them to my kids school. I remember when the normals used to head butt the albinos. I was shocked that they could something like that !
That is good to know. Perhaps I should get him an albino gf. He is in a 55 gallon. Looks like it would be small for 2. What do your set-ups look like?

Really like your tanks. My tree frogs have nicely planted tanks as well. I kept the bullfrog tanks simple because they are in my boyfriends care and I hate to say it but he really sucks at maintaining planted tanks lol! All I gave him was some moss. Surly he can't kill that!
