These are interesting photos aren't they? I was driving through the southeastern US when I received a concerned phone call from Kurt who wanted a second opinion on what to do about these photos. Personally I wouldn't feed a frog to another frog, but that is somewhat because I would be afraid that parasites and/or diseases would be transferred from one to the other. However I do find it all fascinating. I saw the photos that Ragnew is talking about and while I too was shocked, they were amazing photos. Isn't it amazing that a frog like this exists that could eat such large prey? Especially when the prey can defend itself. When we think of frogs, this really is the last kind of frog that springs to mind.
Still, for the majority of pet owners, images like this are difficult to understand, and often these photos are posted for shock value. It's true to say that we have no need to resort to this kind of food for our pets. Keep in mind though that a lot of African Bullfrog owners become interested in the species because they see it as a "bad ***" frog, to use the vernacular. Images of a frog eating a snake just reinforce this idea.
