[willtilian]

Should i get an american? i have a african and want a american or albino but i keep hearing they are not good in captivity and they require a large cage. for one how big would the cage be and can they eat roaches?

Not sure how big of a tank you would need for it. But yes, they will eat roaches. They will eat anything they can catch and that will fit in their mouths basically.

I have an American Bullfrog that I raised from a tadpole, and she is incredibly skittish. Right now, she is still small, but I have a 44 gallon tank lined up for when she gets bigger. I am hoping that will be big enough. They need lots of room, a half and half setup, heavily planted and big food items eventually. So far, Poe has proven to be really tough and relatively easy to care for, though I am concern about giving her enough space. Much more active than any of my African Bullfrogs and way hungrier!!

When I had my adult male, he would eat like 30 large crickets every 3 days. Those guys will eat them self to death if you let them.

i have feeder rats can they eat mice every month or is it different the africans

I don't feed my Africans mice at all, and I won't with my American as well. But I do know that American Bullfrogs will eat anything they can fit in their mouths, including rodents, other amphibians, baby birds and even small lizards.
