Small Appetite?

[Ebony]

Hey TJ..Im not experienced with Bullfrogs...I do know that with my adult frogs they do tend to slow down with their appetites. What is Fat Albert's actual diet? That may help the experts with your question.

Well I try to feed him a variety of things, but he'll only eat crickets occasionally in his water dish. I want to ask the members who have older pyxie frogs, if that their appetite slows down when they get older.

Honestly, I think it is based on the frog, TJ. My male, Kadesh, is only 2 1/2 years old, but usually chooses to only eat 1-2 times a month. He is also the most inactive out of my three. My other male, Gherkin, is almost 8 years old, and has weekly or more feedings; he is the most active. My female, Obi, is the same age as Kadesh and she prefers to be feed once a week, or once every other week. Despite his infrequent feedings, Kadesh is still a good size, great colouring and hisses at me whenever he is disturbed. Being a relatively non-active frog (especially in captivity), we want to feed them more than they actually need for their lifestyles. As the owner of several overly chubby frogs and toads, I worry when something is not eating when I want it to!!

I have the same problem with my male. My female is 3 times smaller and always wants to eat anything.
