    Can you over feed frogs?

    It seems like my frogs can never get enough to eat. The yellow/blue one is really fat and the others are not far behind. Could I be over feeding them?

    Here is a picture of them

    I have heard of horned frogs or pixie frogs but not any other species.

    Yes, many frog species become obese in captivity including darts.

    Thanks!

    Any ideas on how much to feed them? I feed them twice a day and they get either flightless fruit flies, wingless fruit flies or pin head crickets. I just dump a bunch in there and they always come out to eat. Is once a day enough?

    I'm not sop much on darts, but you can goto frogfreaks.com and ask Kristina. She's all into darts.
