    Welcome aboard. Billy has told you more about Ceratophrys than could ever do. I do think Ceratophrys cornuta is really cool, even though I have no plans to keep them.

    Interesting guys to look at but not what could be called an active frog . They really do live up to their names though. Welcome!

    Thank you all
    I am currently feeding the frog on roaches and zophobas, mainly Blaptica dubia. I dust the feeders with 2.0 calsium powder and "Miner-all" multi mineral supplement.

    Here`s a picture of him(?)

    Hello again, Robin. With any horned frog, they usually have a big appetite. Your horned frog is still quite young and small, but can still eat a good bit. If possible, maybe try to offer it as much as it can eat daily. They may not move around alot, but a horned froglet can grow very fast, and therefore, eat alot.
    Try not to feed too many Zoophobas, as they have a good deal of chitin in their exoskeleton. Too much chitin can lead to impaction, and Ceratophrys frogs of any species are very prone to impactions. I would stick to mostly roaches, with a few earthworms thrown in for some variety. The Zoophobas are also high in fat compared with other feeder insects, and are best left as an occasional treat.
    If you offer more food to it, more often, you will see your little one grow up quicker. This isn't like power feeding a reptile, they just grow quicker, and usually have less health problems like MBD when the food is dusted with calcium and mineral mixtures. Just try to stay off of the pinkies, and it should do fine. Pinkies I believe have less calcium, and more phosphorous because their skeleton is more cartilaginous(anyone want to back me up on this, or am I talking out of my a** on the pinkies?).
    Hope I helped, good luck.
