    oh i see

    it depends on the age of the frog
    for babies 1-2 inches feed every day
    decrease the frequency of feeding as your frog grows
    for a frog 2-3 inches feed every other day
    once the frog is full grown i feed 3-4 times a week
    if your frog is full grown upon arrival simply feed 3-4 times a week right from the start

    keep in mind that every frog is different and some may be full grown at a smaller size. Mine both maxed at around 3.5 inches you'll know when a frog is full grown when their growth slows

    be careful of overfeeding. You can tell if your white's is overweight by looking at two fatty ridges over their tympanic membrane (ear drum). It should be pronounced, but not folded over the membrane.

    Hope this helps!

    Hey! Thanks this does help. For some reason I thought that this thread was about pacman frogs but this does help a lot. I'm still not sure which frog to get...
