    Yikes! He looks like a beast of a bullfrog, especially in that last one! What food items do you offer him?

    He eats mostly earthworms and hornworms, once in a while I'll give him a rat, some super worms, chick stuff like that. He hates crickets won't bother them at all. Dust his food once a month with multi vitamins & calcium along with a warm bath, leave out jugs of water constantly for him and our plants don't bother with conditioner.

    Lids off, I used to run it through a britta filter first but my good friend that works for the city at the water treatment plant assured me the heavy metal content is way below national standards so the chlorine is all I should be worried about. I purchased a chlorine test kit from a hot tub store and after 24- 36 hrs of sitting its un readable low, use milk jugs (plastic type)

    Yikes what a monster, hes a very good looking frog with a huge head. How big was he at about 5 months old if you can remember? Just wondering if mine will do anymore growing as he is 5 months.

    My frog did a lot of his growing in the last 4 months so I would expect your guy to keep growing. It really comes down the the frogs individual genetics that determine how big he is going to get, proper nutrition helps but it's really the genetics. In the wild not all African bullfrogs get past the 6-7-8 inch mark however a select few get way past and turn into real giants, it's even more rare to see true giants that are captive born or raised in captivity. Don't get me wrong a 6" frog is huge by any standards but Its the wild that really pushes them to grow its a mater of survival.

    Mine is 5 months and over 6 inches but he has stopped eating recently. He will only accept huge prey now which is really annoying.
