Greetings. Need help on feeding male & female African Clawed Frogs.

welcome!

You will probably get more responses if you post under "Aquatic Frogs"



As for ACF, females are always much larger than males, that is not an issue - - however do stop feeding the freeze dried grubs, freeze dried anything should be avoided. It easily messes up their digestion and can make them impacted.


Reptomin sticks are great - - try breaking them up to make them take longer to eat.

You can also try frozen blood worms (thawed prior to feeding) and let the worms scatter so the frogs have to hunt them up. Usually one cube per adult frog works well.

Earth worms are also a big hit - buy from a bait store, do not use ones you "find" - you have no way of knowing what fertilizers or pesticides they may have come into contact with. If you need to, cut the worms in halves or thirds - the frogs will go nuts.


if you have a secure fitting lid (VERY secure) you can also do the random cricket feeding. a bag of 10 small crickets would probably work well. it takes the frogs a little longer to hunt them down as the crickets attempt to swim away. make sure there are no surfaces (floating decorations or plants, or the top of the filter) that they can climb on to.

If you want to go the extra mile another thing you could do is hand feeding. If the male is not getting a chance to get to the food, take it to him. This works especially well with live earthworms as they will take them straight off you
