My tadpole just turned to a frog...he won't eat!

The pics are not the best, my camera is not working and I had to resort to my camera phone, so basically thats him or her. You think that's a bull frog?

That does look like a bullfrog to me. I have seen darker, lighter, leg stripes and no stripes. There is such a variance, but I would have to say that yours does look like a bullfrog. I am not an expert by any means in IDing frogs and when it comes to American bullfrogs, I am learning as I go!

You can tell the sex of bullfrogs by their eardrums. If it is significantly larger than the eyeball, it is a male. If it is the same size or smaller, female. Both of our bullfrogs are rather young to sex at the moment, though tentatively, I am saying that my Poe is female. However, I have been told that until she is larger and older, that won't be 100%. Males stay smaller, so I was hoping for a boy! That, and I want to hear the mating call. I do have a feeling that I have a girl, which is fine as long as she is healthy, which she appears to be.

Hopefully I have been helpful-I will do my best to answer any questions you may have and that is a mighty fine looking frog you have there!

It is normal toadlets/froglets don't feed in the first week.
As they get to land they still got their tales attached,
they are first using up the tale before they start eating insects.
The tale is some sort of first nutrition to them.

So don't worry about it
