How much do I feed African Clawed Frogs?

[daFroglet]

We just got my son's 2 frogs about 3 weeks ago. As far as I can tell, they are about 1-1/2 months post metamorphosis. The instructions were to feed them 2-3 nuggets of food twice a day at 1 month. The nuggets are quite small, about the size of a stick pin top. When we feed them, sometimes the food drops between the rocks before they catch it. Other times, they catch it while it is sinking. Another suggestion was to feed as much as they can eat within 15 minutes time, but I would assume that is for older frogs. What I am unsure of is how much exactly to feed them. Should I increase the amount of "nuggets" given? Any help/advice anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks bunches!!

No one has answered you ,so il try.if food is falling between the gravel,it will spoil and cloud the tank.so ,one way is just don't randomly throw food in,but clear off a spot in one corner,right down to the glass,and put food only there. They'll figure it out and make cleaning up easier.also go get some frozen blood worms and feed them that.also in the same spot.

If you still need help here's what I do...

To keep food from falling between the rocks I use a teabag dish. You can use any form of ceramic plate, terracotta saucer etc.

I fill a small cup with a little tank water, drop a pinch of pellets (and also mix some some bloodworm in once or twice a week) in and use a turkey baster to suck it up and direct it down onto the dish. They learn very fast to go there for food.

I give my frogs about 3-5 minutes to find the food and eat it. If there's any left I take it out, if it's gone very quick I put a teeny bit more in for them
