    You may be overfeeding, try a cube three times per week. To save on expenses, they will also eat pelleted food, like Tetra's Repto-Min. You can alternate feeding Repto-Min and the cubes. I feed my ACFs Repto-Min exclusively.

    Well heres what I think. Its a baby frog right? I think you should feed it every 2days at most. Then go off for every 3days.

    Blood worms should NOT be a staple diet.

    Try a varied diet:
    -Turtles pellets(Reptomin, and wardleys are the best! contains calcium and a few extra minerals needed for growth)
    -Sinking carnivore pellets(protein)-Insects(provides stimulation)



    You can also prepare your own foods for your frog.
    With mine I used to make gelatin suspension. it should feed the frog appropriately.
    Grab some tasteless, odorless, chem-less jello.

    Study the frogs natural diet.

    I still do this with my turtles but it applies to aquatic frogs too.
    Turtle food:
    40%fish(trout, pan fish, tuna---mainly trout)
    20% Crustaceans and mollusks(shrimps, crayfish, snails, slugs, clams)

    30% Insects(Crickets, earthworms, roaches, goliath worms, and any other insect I can get my hands on)
    Id throw in some veggies,vitamin powder and 2cuttle bones and put it in a blender and hit puree.

    Then Id put the mix in a pot and put some water on it and boil it a little bit to kill anything. Then id mix it with the jello and put it in the freezer. Then id tong feed the turtles the frozen food. :P

    You can do this to the frogs too. See gelatin is absorbed by enzymes.

    Just try your own natural ingredients and voila. Try finding the frogs favorite food and put a couple of them in there for taste. :P

    Just a suggestion though.

    Im not sure how big my ACF is but he is about a sub adult, I feed him a cube of bloodworm daily, some times when he starts to leave some of it i go back down to a half block then when he seems more hungry after i fed him half a block, the next day i go back to a full block and estimate really. But after reading these replys i get the feeling this might not be the right thing to do but he is perfectly healthy.
    I only feed my ACF on bloodworm, i got advised to try different worms but he just didnt seem to be interested in anything else and where i live there isnt much other things i can find.
