bullfrog ID please

Yes, I agree. I'm fairly certain you have an American bullfrog tad. Definitely not an African. How big is he from nose (snout) to anus (vent) in length?

Lithobates or Rana catesbeiana (American bullfrogs) should have land and either a large water bowl (water changed daily -dechlorinated) or they should have a filtered pond area with weekly water changes. The water can be deep. They swim extremely well. A land area or platform to climb out onto is needed. They will float in the water also.

American bullfrogs can grow large as adults. A 75 to 100 gallon tank minimum will be needed when full grown. A good rule is about 2 inches of frog per 10 to 20 gallons. They leap far in one hop, so give them some nice space. An adult can leap 3 to 6 ft.

They can also eat earthworms or night crawlers from a safe, clean source. Remember your calcium with vitamin D3 and multivitamin amphibian supplements . They need it to stay healthy.

Never use small rocks or moss in their homes. They can accidentally ingest them when hunting. As tads it's fine to have a gravel bottom aquarium.

Welcome to the forum . I hope you enjoy your new almost froglet . Cute photo!
