My bullfrog won't eat!

Your humdity and temperature is very close to mine, and all three of my African Giants eat more than their share. A skipped feeding or two will not harm your frog and may allow him to appreciate all the crunchy goodness of a nutritious cricket. I am not sure if you have access to these, but have you tried locusts or roaches? I've heard they can be quite hard to resist...you know, from a frog standpoint!!

Oh okay! Its nice, I'm sure his living conditions are fine! just questioning why he would not eat, and it does sound like he is being picky. No i wish i had access to a variety of feeders. I use to feed him fish until i heard about the parasite. I think thats why, he wants to eat some fish lol. Do you know where i can get access to locust or roaches?

[Jace]

Honestly, no. I don't have access to locust or roaches (besides the Hissers I am breeding myself) in Canada. However, you have various options in the U.S. from what I hear. Ask John, Kurt or Paul or one of the senior members and I am sure they will be able to help you track some down to vary the diet a bit. Let us know how he's eating in the next week or so.

Okay thank you for the information! and yes i will message one of them. I will let you guys know how he does in a week

I don't think locust are available in Canada.

if skipping feeding doesn't help try my idea I guarantee it will work.

[Jace]

Neither locust or dubia roaches are allowed in Canada. I was lucky to find Hissers in a local pet shop. I am breeding them for a food source, but they can take a long time to reach a size that my bigger African Giants will even consider looking at twice. When you have a 9" frog, a small little roach isn't worth the effort!!
