African Dwarf Frogs

[girraffasaurus]

Wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the aquarium section since it is an aquarium frog, but does anyone have one or know much about them? I could use some help getting mine to eat. Thanks!

I've kept them before. They're usually pretty shy. He's probably eating, you just haven't seen him. Are you using bloodworms?

[girraffasaurus]

No, just whatever the HBH Frog and Tadpole pellets are. By bloodworms, do you mean live, frozen, or freeze dried? I have the freeze dried ones, but I dunno if I could distract my fish long enough to get them to the frog...my betta loves bloodworms!

Yeah, I hear ya. It's hard to feed them when there are voracious fish around. The frozen bloodworms would be the best bet. Some will sink to the bottom and give your froggy a chance at them...

Yeah frozen mine ate it eagerly. The pellets sometime dont work with them. some of mine would eat ANYTHING including fish flakes, pellets,bloodworms(their favourite). I didn't keep mine with fish.

Thaks, guys. My only other question: For bettas, bloodworms are supposed to only be used as a treat, not a regular meal. (They're too rich in something, I forget.) Is it fine to give them to my frog on a regular basis?

[Sean_.E.]

Yeah its good to feed them blood worms reguarly.

I've never heard that about Bettas although they just might like them so much that they overeat... not sure. As long as you find a way to get some to the bottom for the frogs, the Betta will not likely touch them.
