ACF feeding?

[Jenste]

do you have these frogs in the same tank? that is considered a no-no. with such a voracious appetite, ACF eat ANYTHING dead, dying, or alive that they can fit in their mouth....including younger and smaller acf.


until the new little frog is over 1/2 the size of the other frog, and in some cases even larger, there is the threat that the larger frog can and will make an easy meal of the smaller frog

Kristina has said they are not housed together, buy great information Jenste.

my mistake!!! i don't know how but i completely missed that part!
(probably because i use the online feature of my phone and am not on a comp!)

My frog doesn't seem to like eating...

Unless it is convenient for her and right in front of her face. Otherwise, she just lets food set in.

Alls she seems to do is hide and sleep...

[Jenste]

sometimes they take longer to adjust than others....when she gets hungry enough she will eat...

also, it sounds funny, but esp when they are young - - the more hiding places they have to escape to, the braver they will become. knowing they have a safe spot close by seems to give them courage

I would say your frog is just taking longer to get used to it's new enviroment. When I got my African clawed Frogs, one always used to eat more than other and it tended to switch between the two. I fed my frogs on frozen blood worm, half a block between the two. Only one survived but now he is fully settled and eats a full block to himself!

I would say carry on feeding pellets but try other food with it, I got recommended using tubifex or californian blackworms (I think it was called that you will have to check) they have nutrition in them, so if your frog isn't eating a lot, at least it would still be getting the nutrition it needs.

Good Luck
