    As Lija stated; they slow down their food intake once mature and almost full grown. An interesting feeding method is by making your own "frog sausages" with commercially available food casings. Search forum for "sausages" and a couple threads should pop up for you. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Ah that looks like the answer to my question right there.

    "They slow down their food intake once mature and almost full grown."
    I thought it was silly to think that I would have to feed him a absurdly gross amount of worms when he got bigger. Haha, I would assume the process of slowing down their food intake is a result of being at their peak fitness, no longer needing the nutrients from their food as their growth declines.

    As for the sausage casing I would imagine my frog would need to be thoroughly tong trained in order to get him to consume it, or try to get a long sausage chain and trail it around in front of him? :P Sounds like a fun idea.
