Bullfrogs will
eat anything that will fit in their mouths. Feed them insects,
fish, and frozen (thawed) mice and rats. Be careful if feeding
with your hands, as they have sharp teeth on the roof of their
mouths. In the wild, Bullfrogs will eat birds, lizards, frogs,
small turtles and anything else that comes by, if it's the
right size. Water should be in the tank at all times. If only
using a dish, clean it everyday. |
Your Bullfrog
habitat's temperature should be kept between 77 degrees F
and 84 degrees F. The humidity will be controlled by the water
in the tank. An incandescent bulb works best for the lighting,
although you can always use a flourescent bulb as well. |
Use a glass aquarium large enough
for your Bullfrog to move around naturally.
Keep one side dry, using rocks or gravel, and one side wet.
The water should be able to cover half of the frogs body.
Use a gravel or similar substrate under the water, so your
Bullfrog isn't walking on glass. |
