How much to feed? Beginner/Young Frog

[Drizzle]

He just ate about 20 large crickets within 15 minutes (per the advice given on frogfreaks).

Looks like I'll have to head back to petsmart to buy more... this is gonna be costly haha.

Congrats on your new addition, Drizzle. Young ABF can be quite the bottomless pit when it comes to food. When two of mine were young, they were fed 4-5 times a week, with their main staple being earthworms supplemented with crickets. Once a month, a pinky was given and once a week, mealworms as a treat. Once they reached 6 months of age, I began to cut back on the feedings to 3-4 times a week. At a year, it was even less. I have one male who now only eats 2-3 times a month, another male that prefers food every week and my female likes her food every other week. I semi-hibernate them in the winter when my worm supply is rather pathetic. Depending on where you live, you could even give them locusts, which are bigger and good on protein.

Speaking of which, though I can see you are in Texas, could you please confirm your nationality on your profile?? Thanks so much and enjoy your African Bullfrog-I absolutely love my three! :-)
