    Default Food... I worry about the frog

    My tank is so large that I don't seem to have a handle on what she eats... when I had her in the 10 gall aquarium I could see the food disapering. In her new large tank I cant tell. I don't want her to go hungry... but everyone says... a bullfrog wont go hungry with food avalabale... I have 30 some feeder fish, and I put 3 crawdads in the water each week and one baby mouse each week... I saw that the mouse was gone... but the other items it is hard to tell without taking the aquatic area apart. Is she going to be ok... its not like a dog that lets you know when its hungry... I just would hate to think that I was hurting her. she was wild caught so I know she knows how to hunt... I was wondering if I should put her back into the 10 gall aquarium during the day with the food and puting her back into the large tank at night to swim and streach her leggs... but then there is the overhandling or stress factor... what do you all think... as you can tell I am new to frogs... and don't want mine to die or go hungry.

    You love your Speedy so much, its great to see! I think you're right when you say she knows how to hunt. If there's food there, I'm sure she'll find it eventually. When feeding her stuff like worms, you could just try to put them right in front of her, but I wouldn't worry too much. If the fish and crawfish are eventually disappearing and your girl isn't getting skinnier, then I'm sure she's fine!
