Those pictures might be deceiving. You can't tell a size from that picture, all you can tell is that Grif's frogs look well fed and healthy.
Below is a picture of my big female, she is 4.5" and done growing. I don't mind, it's not the size of the frog, it's how healthy they are that matters.
There are no tricks to get your frog to 5", just having a healthy frog, perfect husbandry and a little luck on genetics.

i know but is my frog done growing at 8 or 9months

[Maverick]

look at worlds biggest frog on youtube. i would like to get advice on how my frog can get like that.I love my frog like it is but who wouldnt want a bigger frog

[Hypnotic]

I wouldn't. My male is 3" and I don't mind him being small at all. It's the frogs behaviour I value over size. Eventhough my male misses 1 foot, he's a great eater, he's very active and despite being disabled, he moves around alot.

one of theseAttachment 60662i want to get my frog to at least 5in because she is 4 in at the moment

The top frog is a Female brown Cranwelli. She is 5.25". There are many factors that determine growth and most don't reach 5" so only time will tell. They can reach full grown in a matter of months.

8 to 9 months is a sub adult and might grow another .25" to.5" by 1 year of age.

My Mojo is at a healthy size of just over 4 inches. His growth has pretty much halted. I've had him since May. I would love to get another quarter inch out of him.

Do you mean second in a rowe or second mouse since you've had her?
Mice should only be given to them no more than once per month.

She may grow another quarter to half inch, but no more.

2nd since I had her. Why do u say quarter inch to half inch?

[Maverick]

And I tong feed the mouse by rubbing against her mouth.

And I tong feed the mouse by rubbing against her mouth.

Is the mouse still alive when you're doing that? Just let it walk around in front of her or something. Grabbing it with the tongs and rubbing it on the frog's face has got to be painful and terrifying... Not to mention increasing the potential for it to bite her.

There's no need to feed live anything unless the frog absolutely refuses to eat anything f/t. F/t is safer for the frog and more humane for the mouse.
(Also, I would recommend getting a tupperware dish or something to feed her in, not on the cage-top like that. The metal grating can dig into their skin, and if she hops those corners are sharp and could be an injury waiting to happen).

maverick did get a minor bite on the lip but i grabbed the mouse by the neck and she ate it.The reason i feed like that was because she doesnt like to eat by herself.And before u guys go off on maverick getting bit,she only got bit on the lip she did not bleed,or make any noise of pain just a small bump.

What do you mean "She doesn't like to eat by herself"? I don't understand what you're saying or why that makes you have to rub live feeders on your frog's face... I may be misunderstanding what you're saying, but please clarify?

You can avoid your frog getting bitten by feeding frozen/thawed mice, or by not pressing live feeders into your frog's face. You said you've fed her a live mouse like that only twice, and your frog has already been bitten. I'm not trying to be mean, but that is dangerous to the frog, cruel to the mouse, and irresponsible if you keep doing it. Next time that mouse could nip or scratch her face two centimeters up and she could lose an eye.
Basically, you got lucky that the bite didn't do any damage. But the fact that it happened so in your first two feedings is an indicator that what you have been doing is not a safe way to feed! Please don't use that technique again...

IMO live feeders should only be used as a last resort when an animal refuses all other foods. Otherwise (especially with frogs and how easily damaged their skin is) it's an unnecessary risk.

[DVirginiana]

Okay, I re-read what I just said and it sounded kind of harsh. But it sounds like you probably don't have a lot of experience with keeping herps, so maybe try f/t for awhile if she's eating other feeders, and ask other keepers (not Youtube videos... most of those are just guys wanting to seem macho because their frog ate something) about safer techniques before you try feeding live again.
