My B-E-A-UUTIFUL Giant African Bullfrog

Still looks like male to me, and they do grow fast when fed properly .

Any suggestions on diet? I've been feeding him worms, crickets, meal worms and goldfish. I'm trying to keep changing it up to mimic a varied diet.

Don't feed goldfish, they carry parasites and contain thiaminase, an enzyme that interferes with vitamin B1 processing. Night crawlers (not dyed from Walmart or a local bait shop) are the best food for them. Mealworms are fatty and have a hard exoskeleton that prevents digestion and could cause impaction. Can also feed recently molted Dubia roaches.

Don't forget to dust it's food, more on that in here: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html .

Thank goodness I only gave him 2 fish and a few meal worms!!! I'll just stick to worms and crickets from now on. I always get them from walmart/pet store! Thanks so much!
