Hi, new here

[WhiteWolf]

Hello, I joined this forum to help me learn about American Bullfrog care. I work at a pet store, and we got a shipment of feeder fish one day and a tadpole ended up in there on accident. I didn't want him to get eaten, so I took him home. He now has front and back legs and his tail is being absorbed. I plan to move him to a larger tank as he grows.

Welcome to the site. I'm not very good with amphibians so I can't help you much there, but I'd wager someone else around here can...

welcome to the site. i would certainly wait till he's absorbed his tail and is moving around on land quite well before handling if you can. didn't know he was still morphing in your other thread.

[WhiteWolf]

Should I also wait until he is done morphing to try to feed him mealworms?

[beckdg]

i would try pill bugs, aphids, tubifex, super worms or waxies before i tried mealworms personally. i'm not 100% sure when/what they'll eat at this point, but mealies would not be my first choice.

Hello and welcome to the forum. I'm pretty new here myself and have found it a very pleasant place to come for advice or just to brag .

I bought some baby crickets tonight as well as some flightless fruit flies. I put the crickets in and he ate for the first time! My question is, since I know he will eat crickets should I just stick to that for now and return the flies? Or, are they supposed to have a varied diet? I read that he is supposed to eat every day for a while, is this true?

i doubt he'll be eating ff's for long. it's your call...

yes, they are little pigs.
