Graboune, my Giant African Bullfrog

She is a pretty big girl congrats!

Not to hijack the thread, but should I let mine Aestivate? My girl is almost a year old and my dwarf is almost 2. I know some say not to do it until a certain age but mine stay burrowed 100% of the time until I dig them up for feeding which is every 1-2 weeks.

It isn't necessary unless you plan on breeding. If they go under you can let them sleep or dig them out and feed.

How long can I let them stay under there? If I plan on just dig and feed is there a min/max period of time to let them sleep?

Full aestivation lasts for months. You could continue what you have already been doing and be fine. As long as they are healthy and don't appear to be losing weight then all should be fine.

Ok cool the only one that looks wrinkly when dug is the dwarf but he also eats the most. The adspersus is always puffy and never shows weight loss. My only problem is I think they my be defecating in the burrows. as I rarely see them poop in the water/surface anymore. Normally that would always get in the water to do it. Maybe they are doing it when I'm asleep then dig back down, I've never encountered any frass when digging them up which requires quite a bit of searching.

Again, sorry OP about taking over some of the thread.
