Clawed frog= clawed treat?

[GarterGuy17]

Yea i'm feeding every two days because jade digests very very fast , she starring at me right now , I think she wants food Well just see what are your snakes eating habits just water her after a day or so when she eats and see if the bulge is gone.

I think he meant to say watch her for a day or so after she eats and see if the bulge is gone...

I am lucky with my Radix baby She'll eat out of a dish until she is full then leave whatever leftover. She is approximately 15" or 16" long. About every 3-4days I mix Worm chunks n chopped Pinkies. I alternate between a ratio of 70%worms 30%pinkie then next feeding would be 3days, Next feeding 30%worms 70%pinkie next feeding would be 4days.

I'd ask who ever you are getting her off of how much has she been eating, you can go from there. Oh and if she is used to 'tong' feeding or eating out of a dish or in a separate tank etc. Mind you some adjust quite fast, others take time.

Worms n fish digest faster then pinkies. You'll be able to see a 'thickening' of her eh.. waist line lol and you'll notice her scales are stretched apart. When she's hungry her body will be slimmer and her scales will be closer together. Plus once they now food comes from you.. they will give you 'the look' lol You'll know.

"The look". I like that.

[Light of Dae]

Lol well it's true, they do give you 'the look' If we had 'monkey thought translators' to put on them they'd do 'the look' and the translator would say... "HUNGRY!" ... "STEVE!" and instead of gummy bears it would be "WORMS!" or "PINKIE MOUSE"

... Lol Gotta watch Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs! Love the monkey.

I tried to feed Hermes some worm pieces last night and he got all freaked out because they were wiggling at him! Being captive bred he is not used to his food being alive. He has the complete opposite problem of my wild caught easterns who like their food alive and wiggling and the challenge became getting them to eat food that was not alive.

[kibakiba]

Thats how my babies were! I tried cut up worms, but they were still wiggling a little bit and they acted like the worms were coyotes or something! Haha.

[EasternGirl]

I cut the worms into itty bitty pieces tonight and Hermes ate them .

[kibakiba]

I doubt your radix would care too much for the frog, when all they see is the equivilent of a perfect oven roasted turkey.

That's too bad. I really enjoy trying to mimic their natural state (as much as a glass enclosure allows...) and would like to feed her an amphibian once in awhile. I won't do endemic toads or frogs because they're some of my favorite animals and for the parasite problem. I have never been a fan of clawed frogs though, and I had hoped that they were usually CB and safe to eat. I hear frog legs from a grocery store work well. True?
