Ive never had one {more than a day or two}but I do now."Mondo"{as named by my special needs neighbor...very sweet man with the mind of a child}is an amputee.A VERY LARGE bullfrog.He's lost his hind leg.Evedentally my neighbor's elderly mother found his pet in his bedroom and well,I guess she panicked.Looks like he will survive if I can keep infection away until it heals but what does one feed a captive frog?How does one properly care for one?

Do you know this creature actually LIKES being petted and will rub himself on my friend's finger for more???It also responds differently to him over me...amazing!He's had him captive for a week now.I don't know how long they can go without,but Im thinking food is a top priority.

I have a greys tree frog and found her outside, and I've had her a year now. I got her a 10 gallon tank, and give her crickets, she's gotten so fat and she's very entertaining. I've tried giving her meal worms but crickets are her fave. I'm not sure about bull frogs but I'm sure you could give it crickets and make sure it has water, I'm just not sure how different they are from tree frogs. How did the infection turn out?

A 10 to 20 gallon aquarium is the best. Bullfrogs are aquatic and love water. Suggest a 20 gallon aquarium with about 3 to 5 inches of water with a rock that stands above. Bull frogs will eat anything they can overpower. They have been found with rodents, bats etc. along with the usual things.
The best though for one in captivity woud be beetles,crickets, insects and yes even tadpoles. May even try mealworms.
