Big pig
Was so worried about Monster not getting enough nutrition from his meals. Would not except mealworms, pinkies or hoppers. Crickets were the only thing he would touch. Even with dusting I was worried. Was thinking he wasn't quite ready for a mouse yet. Out of desperation I threw one in. It didn't even have time to get all four feet on the ground and he had it. It looks like he has grown considerably in this last week. What a pig!! Don't know why he turned down pinkies. Oh well!

Re: Big pig
He was only a little guy last week, I swear. Can't wait till he reaches full size. Should be about as big as a dinner plate and eat rats.

Re: Big pig
Dinner plate sized frog? Whoa. I think I'll stick with a little ole red eye tree frog myself. Is he a display frog, or does he tolerate handling?

Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand

Re: Big pig
They do not like being handled. They have very sensitive skin. Most average about 6 inches as adults. Others get larger. They are very aggressive and will normally eat anything that fits in their mouth. The tadpoles will even eat each other. He bit the store manager on the day we got him.

Re: Big pig
He is a Horned frog otherwise known as a pacman. They normally only reach about 6" across, but I have seen a few huge ones.He has what they call vomerine teeth in the roof of their mouth. More of an extension of the nasal bone. So they can deliver a somewhat painful bite. They don't do much of anything though. They tend to dig down in the subtrate and wait for dinner to come to them. The way their faces are shaped makes it appear that they are always angry. So cute.

Re: Big pig
That's awesome! I've only ever seen small ones in pet stores or herp shows. I had NO idea they got that big...or that they (or any frog!) would eat rodents...that's wild!
