Be careful with live mouse feedings. As you can clearly see from your video the mouse clawed the frog's eye. It is much safer to offer frozen/thawed prekilled rodents rather than live. Live adult mice can seriously injure your frog. Just something to think about.

Agreed with Grif.

Honestly, I'm entirely against feeding juvenile and/or adult mice to frogs. The fur is hard to digest and can cause impaction, mammal flesh is hard to digest and not the best food for frogs, it's inhumane, and it can also end badly for the frog, too. Pinky mice, I get that, but even so it's inhumane. But, to each their own.

big frog might get offended if offered a pinky lol it is ok to give f/t adults now and then with a month or more in between, but live - too big a risk to get your frog injured, it is best to do f/t for snakes/frogs/anyone eating it but i can't deny it was impressive how the earth just moved and and the mice is gone, good masking skills

That is a 4 year old video. My frogs only get mice they can take down in one gulp these days.

And none of my frogs will touch a F/T mouse. There is nothing wrong with live feelings as long as it is the appropriate size.

Inhumane? Is it inhumane to feed your frog living insects too, or does it only count if it is something "cute" like a mouse?

Please don't take our comments the wrong way. We have seen some really bad videos in the past and it is always exciting to see a large frog on the hunt and taking down large prey, but sometimes the frog doesn't get its meal without a price.

You could offer her fuzzies that are live or hopper mice. Both small and one cannot defend itself and the other is small and easily overpowered.

Any feeding that is long and drawn out where the animal being eaten suffers a greadlt deal before death is considered inhumane and no it does not matter what the creature being fed to the frog is.

As I said in my previous post: " My frogs only get mice they can take down in one gulp these days".


Just because someone is new to your forum doesn't mean they are new to frogs.
