Cannibal Story

Do you know for sure the frog was alive when "eaten"? If the frog had died or was weak that would help explain the cannibalism attempt.

My kids say the little guy escaped at one point and was recaptured. So I assume he was in fact alive.

Did your runt ACF ever meet it's doom at the hands of your much larger female ACF?

No he is still doing well. I am hoping the little guys grows though. He is developing a nice pattern as he ages.

Awesome. It seems to vary a lot when these frogs will cannibalize each other, I can't really explain it. By all accounts your frog would be food but he is (thankfully) not bothered by the larger frogs.

I was so scared this was going to happen to my two guys, unfortunately my smaller frog died of bloat (a worse fate i think)...I don't know what I would have done, probably attempted rescue!! Sorry to hear about this!!
