I understand the sadness that comes from feeding frogs to frogs, usually I wouldn't advise it due to as others mentioned, Chytrid primarily, however with wild caught Cornuta (as I assume those are) it can be very hard to get them to eat in captivity. One type of food they almost never refuse is another frog. It may be in the same terrarium / container for a day or even a week, but it will be eaten. It also provides enough of a meal so that the frog doesn't need to eat as often and still gets all its nutrients.

Best bet is to get the frogs from a captive bred source and then there's no issue (besides the sadness)

the frogs being eaten is sad..but those cornatas are really good lookin frogs

ohh yes i think those feeder frog are american bull frog baby...i dun usually feed frog to any of my pet...but for wc cornatas i have no choice...some of them just not eating anything else...some willing to take fish only...i only have one who is willing to take pinkies...
a friend of mine also bought some wc cornatas earlyer then me..also refuse to take any other food and they died recently..so feeding frog is my only option...

Hi Spiderlover, as also an owner of WC Cornuta, I have three suggestions. One is that the American bullfrogs have a high chance of carrying chytrid fungus, let it be wild caught, farm-raised, from North America, or Asia. It is something to be cautious about. Two is that Cornutas are notorious for unwilling to feed in captivities. So that leads to my last suggestion: maybe you should think about force-feeding your frog, unless you can condition and train them to eat safer food like crickets, nightcrawlers, or samurai pacman food, etc.
You can keep feeding bullfrogs to them but I'm afraid they'll catch chytridiomycosis sooner or later. Or you can train them to eat the safer food I mentioned previously, but it may not work. So that pretty much leaves you force-feeding these picky frogs, or simply don't purchase WC frogs. There are CB Cornuta babies available that are willing to take safe, healthy food.

It isn't sad. Cornuta are Frog eaters, plain and simple. They specialize in feeding on other Reptiles and Amphibians, so it's a fact of life for these animals......

for one they do eat food other then frogs, feeding them frogs are not just sad but it is also not understandable and not ethical especially for those who breed and own bullfrogs and ACF as pets. Same would go for those people who feed kittens to their boas. I'm sorry I don't understand that and never will.

I personally would never buy WC frog if there is a chance of getting CB, besides feeding and other problems that go with WC i much rather support CB businesses.

Really interesting to see, but it does make it visually tough when the feeder prey is also cute : )
