Benny decided to have a rat over for lunch today.

That is just an amazing creature! It looks like an alien from a George Lucus movie!! :P

Benny kicks it!

Great pics Jen...and thanks for sharing!

:O WHOA!! she's AWESOME! how big was that rat? watch where you put that hand!:O ;)

lol; it was a rat fuzzie, eyes not opened yet.
Benny spends most of her time buried in about a foot of dirt (we actually keep her in a styrofoam cooler full of eco-earth; works great.)

What temps is he kept at? Mine hasn't eaten in about 2-3 months. He hasn't lost much weight either.

I keep her at 80 degrees. We only really feed her once every few months; we watch for when she decided to unbury herself, then offer a baby rat.
A lot of people have said that rats aren't good food, but we feed them in addition to nightcrawlers. Mostly rats, and we aren't having any problemw with this fattie :)

Wierd, I can't get my guy to eat anything now. Any advice

Hm.. Benny usually does an about-face when she sees the rat, then just clamps down on it.. have you tried mice/rats? They can't be too big or the frog just gets scared and retreats.
Does yours have that "catatonic stare?" Benny does much of the time :)
If yours is smaller, crickets and nightcrawlers would also be good ideas; that's what this girl ate before she got to be this size. Now she would just ignore these things.

He used to eat fuzzie mice a while back. Won't even touch crickets that I know of. Tried worms and he won't touch them. I have to hold him and hold the worms to his mouth before he will MAYBE take them
