American bullfrog

[Iratus ranunculus]

ok thanks alot for the answers.

what kind of growth rate should i expect out of this guy or girl ill post pics later tonight.

and is there anyway i can treat this frog for parasites chytrid??(Spelling) ??

does anyone know were to get that stuff at if possible?

i have him/her on coco fiber and some sphagnum moss is that ok?

i have a huge water bowl in the enclosure right now with a filter in it is that ok?

when he gets a lil bigger ill do a land water tank

Parasites yes. You can treat with panacure, either orally or by putting a solution on the skin. Chytrid is a bit harder. I am not sure what anti-fungal you would use, but bullfrogs are highly resistant to Chytrid, just dont put any other frog species in with him.

Growth rate depends on how much you feed him. Expecting him to double in size within a year (or even faster) is not unreasonable.

Coco-fiber with sphagnum is perfect. Lots of live plants would be good. What I have found works really well is to set up a land-water tank with one of those Turtle Logs as the divider. You can put a pump in the bottom of the log hidden from the frog and pump water up to a filter. Duckweed is a really nice plant to have in the aquatic section. Parasite free duckweed can be obtained here Aquatics & Marginals: Black Jungle Terrarium Supply

Any other aquatic or marginal plants you put in there will make for a happy frog.

This is good. Go with the oral treatment by dusting the food or with the liquid if you can because Panacur doesn't absorb through the skin very well.
Look through this http://www.frogforum.net/care-articl...first-aid.html

Especially don't mix Bullfrogs with Pacific Chorus Frogs. Not only can the Bullfrog eat them when it gets bigger, Pacific Chorus Frogs are immune to Chytrid and can carry it to other populations.

Oral administration is really easy actually. Panacure comes in a powdered form that you can dissolve in water and use an eye dropper in the mouth, or you can just dust food with it (I had forgotten about that route for administration)

It is a dog dewormer that is used off label for amphibians. You should be able to get it at 1800 petmeds.
