Hello

[kmhort]

Hello, my name is Kim. I didn't know until now that there was a frog forum. I am just looking for some advice. I posted an article squidoo about my albino frog. I have found some info on them on the net, but mostly the same over and over. I bought one of these frogs for my son for Christmas and it grew!!!!!!! Alot. I bought him or her at a Walmart. I am trying to let people know that these guys get BIG. No one told me. I am not a frog expert and am taking care of him to the best of my abilities. I don't now if it is against the rules (if it is I am Sorry), but if some of you could read my article and tell me if you think it is accurate please let me know. I have grown quite fond of my "Freeky Frog" as my sis calls him.
You can find my article at www.squidoo.com/albinofrogs

Thank You for any help in this matter.

After people help you edit it it might be good for posting on this site as a faq. (If no one else has any faqs up at least)

OK I read your page. I would cut back on the feedings a little, maybe feeding it every second third day. House this frog like a fish as it is totally aquatic. If this frog is still living with the goldfish, all I can say is this fish's days are numbered. They will eat anything they can get into their mouths, including tank mates. My last African clawed frog choked to death on a Corydoras catfish.

You can feed it just about anything. Commercial tropical fish food are good for these frogs as are earth worms, black worms, bloodworms and so on.

Xenopus laevis is a known carrier of chytrid, a deadly fungus that kills most amphibians. So keep this in mind if you get any more pet frogs.

Also African clawed frogs are also used in scientific experiments and were once used in pregnancy test.

I read it. I would change the title - albino frogs could be any kind of frog.
