That is so cool

 

[rodentrancher]

Yeah they all line up and wait to be fed. We hand feed em. That was a bit rare having them all sit there together at once.

It looks like they get fed regularly. :lol: :lol:

Tourett, I feed da froggies 2 to 3 times a week, mainly on Woodies. Now and again they get a Pink mouse, and an occasional Cricket. We try not to overdo the feeding as we know they can get obese with too much. They are all sitting there tonight, waiting, waiting! But tomorrow night is the go, they have to wait. Cheers Chezza

Love the line- up photo....their such guts, any excuse for food....i took this photo last night of one in particular thats alway's in the roach container. I was feeding snakes and turned around to get the mouse and well, like he needs it... but wasnt willing to trade it for a smaller one....poor photo but shows what a pig cross frog looks like...

That's wicked man,i love it,he's a chubby little fella that one!!

 

[indicus]

Should not be.....unhealthy thats for sure....have to keep him out of the roachs, as well as watching your back when feeding snakes after dark :shock: ....diets in order

 

[BROWNS]

nah pump him up and see how big he gets,still got a lota growing in him yet

 

[Already_Gone]

how hard are froggies to keep anyway, been thinking about it for ages... what size tank would be cool etc...

 

[indicus]

Pending how many?, but a pair or trio etc, would be fine in a stardard aqurium.....providing its humid and moist and their fed and cleaned regular, you shouldnt have a problem....I've seen some brillant set-ups, mock-rock, logs, moss, pebbles, greenery and a pond....looks great, Let your imagination go, you can really create a top exhibit. Something the whole family can enjoy.....

I knew a gtf would take a opinkie but never would've thought they'd go something that size,he is a guts isn't he!!!That pic's a beauty,i bet someone would love something like that in a book :idea:

i used to feed my gtfs mice and fuzzy rats regularly,untill the things got overweight,,that was 12 yrs ago,,and i still have the same gtfs,but now they only eat mice..mabye one every 3 weeks,and hundreds of crickets,mealworms and moths,does anyone know what the oldest a gtf has gotten to in captivity..

[rodentrancher]

Found this with a Google Search. " The species is long-lived and the oldest recorded captive frog died at 23 years of age."

[indicus]

Awesome,..i'd believe it..fat, green, old with little respect for household furnishings, pee'ed, down the front of the computer, and looks rather content...

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

feeding time in west africa with these goliath frogs would get expensive after a while
lol

[indicus]
