An update a year in the making (pics)

[Maharg]

Hello again everyone. Just thought id give everyone a quick update just because it seems to be a common theme we all notice of amphibian keepers losing interest in their frogs which is sad. Although I havent been on the forums in a long time, Ive continued the excellent care of my frogs.

Here is my Pyxie. Now, I know more uptight keepers will have a problem with the size of the feeder Im using. People know that I am not shy of feeding prey items they would encounter in the wild. Here, my African Bullfrog is eating a large African Soft Furred Rat which it would happily encounter in the wild. I dont do it often, and their staple is nightcrawlers, but once a month they all get large prey items like the controversial crayfish my Rococo enjoyed. (She is doing fine btw and ill include a pic of her as well.)
As for the Rat (which is actually a large breed of mouse) fighting back, I had a large forceps at the ready if it did. My Pyxie although is EXTREMELY savage and fiesty when it comes to feeding time so the fight back was virtually non existent.

Edit: On the other side of this tank out of frame is a much larger water dish that he can easily submerge in. Its actually a giant salad serving bowl since they dont make dishes nearly large enough for him lol.

And the Rococo

Holy...... How big they both are? And btw have you been to the show and saw these sad looking edulis?

[Maharg]

Yes Lija I saw the guy and his Dwarves. He had them last year as well. I feel bad for a lot of the animals at the TARAS show. He had some of those Malaysian Frogs that you got from JJs last year as well.

Oh and Rocco is about 10 inches and the Pyxie probably around 8 but solid as a TANK.

Yes Rocco is a female Rococo Toad, despite the name lol. One of the only ones in Calgary. I was very lucky to get her.
