1. This is a African dwarf frog, not a clawed frog. NO adult fish will be big enough for him to eat.

2. They do not eat turtle pellets.

3. If your flakes reach the bottom before being consumed, you are overfeeding. If your frog is lucky enough to stumble upon a flake, he will most likely ignore it.

@kermit1someone Woah. A WHOLE TWO MONTHS. Malnutrition takes a while to die from.

These people at expertvillage are so ingnorant. They havent got a clue of what they are talking about. Feed the frogs fish or bloodworms.

@kermit1someone Frogs are amphibians it takes a long time for them to starve. And they will starve on flake food. You can feed them fish that you have at home. Just chop the fish up in small pieces and the frogs will eat it. That's much better food for them.

i put 2 frogs and 3 snails in a 10 gallon tank

i have these little guys...again research most die from not getting enough food because of fish...i give mine frog and tadpole bites(formula for them) and blood worms...i have had them 8 years two in a tank with an octo.. and if you feed them enough they wont try to eat the octo....i have been able to have a mating pair and raised tadpoles. keep the tank clean they absorb everything...pet stores sell two in a small plastic tank with a bamboo shoot for kids..dont support this. research pet care
