My B-E-A-UUTIFUL Giant African Bullfrog

[PhatFibGirl]

I'm mainly showing him/her off. But any guesses on sex would be welcome!!!

[Mentat]

Very cute Mary! It's too early to tell, at least for me . First pic points to male; but the other two, not so much .

[PhatFibGirl]

Thank you! The second pic he puffed himself all up because I spooked him :P

[PhatFibGirl]

It's been less than a week and I feel like I'm looking at a new frog every morning. The growth rate of these guys is unreal!! O_o

[Mentat]

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

[PhatFibGirl]

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.

[Mentat]

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!

I've had mine on staple dubia for a year now and my mAle is about probably 1.5-2lbs. Female no where near as big. Fed from my own colony.

Thought I'd update you guys on my GABF. I am almost 100% it's a female. So now I have to change her name. Kermit is a boys name. And she is getting SO BIG!

Hi Mary! Thanks for update; what is the frog's length from snout to vent? Thank you !

[atlpiggy]

Male for sure. I'd put some money on it for sure! My little big man looked similar at that age. He's now and year and a half and massive. I'll post pics soon!!
