    Sigh, thanks Ebony. I was just hoping. I hate the thought of them being killed simply because no-one wants them. But I am not sure if I can afford to raise three American Bullfrogs once they reach adulthood. See my dilema?? I don't know what I should do with them now.

    Surly someone would want them. Maybe you will have to raise them to frogs first. Do people over your way prefer CB?

    I know several people that have Dwarf Aquatic frogs and African Clawed frogs, and one that has a Green Tree frog....but on-one has the experience with the variety that I have, never mind dealing with a bullfrog. I know I can handle three in terms of setups, and time...it's my pocketbook that I am concerned about.

    Hmmm, I understand your dilemma. Is a pocketbook a wallet?

    Lol-yes, pocketbook is a wallet. I know Bullfrogs are hearty eaters, and the thought of two extra mouths....of course, I feed my three African Giants without problem, but they go for periods of several weeks where they won't touch a lick of food. I don't think American Bullfrogs do that. It's the constant supply of food that worries me.

    What about breeding your own food. I save heaps with my locusts..

    About the only thing I could breed is crickets (which I am not fond of), mealworms (which are not high enough in nutritional value to have as a staple) and Hissing Roaches (that I am working on, but they usually only have two batches of young a year and the babies take forever to reach a decent size). Locusts and other roaches are banned in Canada. But I did find a Canadian Reptile/Amphibian Feeder Food online, so I am pricing out what it would cost to do it that way. Still haven't decided yet what I am going to do with them....but I kinda, sort of, want to keep them.....
