    Default Bloated female?

    I'm just going to ask even though I'm nervous. I just adopted a female acf who is about 4 years old. I was just wondering if she looks bloated or is possibly just full of eggs?



    I'm new to her and have never had a female before

    Female ACF are naturally pear shaped and plump. My three female frogs is equally rotund.

    Just be weary of over feeding since these guys don't stop eating and do get quite fat. I feed my female frogs twice a week, some times only once a week. 1-2 nightcrawlers a week and they're still all chubby.

    Does she still look the same? First pic she looks to have a massive belly, second pic she looks normal. Had she just eaten?

    Based on those pics I'd say she looks just fine. She has a great pattern on her too.

    Yeah from these pics I don't see an issue either. My female ACF are about this chubby as well.

    My initial thought was bloat, but she looks okay in the last two pictures. I have to ask though, what/how often are you guys feeding your frogs that your ladies look so large?? Not that there's anything wrong with it, I'm just very curious. My females are no where near this.. well... rotund. They have the healthy pear shape, but they don't have a... gut. I feed HBH frog bites 1-2 times weekly as a staple. Frozen bloodworms as a treat here and there. They will only eat reptomin if I handfeed it (which takes forever). My frogs are all quite healthy with this diet, but I'm always happy to hear what others use. I'm thinking of starting nightcrawlers (cut to proper size) for weekly feedings.
