Today I was really surprised, my ACF (who's name is Takeo now.) started getting black marks on his hands and arms. I wasn't expecting that sort of development for some time yet. I'm hoping this means he's younger than I feared. His previous owner said she'd had him for 'over a year or so' and I was starting to think he was underdeveloped as well as emaciated. Either way he's not as long as the sites say he should be (he may be four inches at best). Is it possible he's still growing or could he be stunted for the rest of his life?

He does seem to be gaining some weight though, at the very least he's not as sharp around the edges as when I first got him.

Also wanted to ask about 'calci worms', otherwise called 'Pheonix worms', or so Google tells me. I couldn't find the suggested silkworms or hornworms or much else like them in my local pet supply places. But PetCo had 'calciworms', though theirs all pupated and turned into wasps so they were no good anymore. The sites I've looked at about them say they're okay for fish, but will they do an African Clawed Frog any good? I'm worried that his diet has been so poor that his bones are in as bad a shape as the rest of him.

That's all I've got right now. Thanks a lot for any suggestions, you guys have helped me out a lot already.
