Feeding african clawed frogs earthworms

[Gemma]

Well I've been feeding my frogs earthworms for 3 days now and they LOVE them! I'm going to look into growing my own colony. They wolf them down whole in seconds. I'm not sure how many I should be feeding them since I'm still feeding them once a day (they're not yet fully grown). I've been giving them one worm each, but I gave one frog 2 worms yesterday and she had no problems eating them both, and she was swimming around happily afterwards (looking for more, the greedy little thing!).

The only thing that concerns me is my male frog has been croaking every single night for a month or so, but since I've been feeding him the worms I haven't heard him croak once. He seems healthy enough though and he's acting normally otherwise.

Perhaps he was looking for love and has stopped now that he found his one true love, earthworms!!

Anywho, really not sure. My male never seems to be vocal either, he's about 10 months old now and I really wish he would.

That being said, earthworms are a particular favorite of these frogs. I swear my frogs know when I'm preparing to drop worms in to the tank, they start going crazy.
