    Thanks Carlos. When I measured him four days ago he was 3 inches SVL.

    I would still feed him daily for another inch or two and then go to every other day. A good signal to stop feeding daily is when you notice a diminished feeding response. Once frog slows growing is time to feed couple times a week. You will probably get different responses to this question since every frog is different. My Stilgar was voracious and ate his fill in a couple minutes and then loose interest in foods. Good luck!
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Thanks for the advise. His feeding response is crazy, anything that moves around his tank he is on it, including my fingers lol.

    LOL it's kinda funny/scary to see them bite at anything like that. I poured water in his dish last night and he went nuts snapping at the water and then under it thinking there was food in there.

    He called within the first week I got him and it sounded squeeky. Now his calls are a lot deeper and sound like a cow of in the distance.
