Day 149

The food that I managed to recover after the large pellet bag spill several weeks ago has finally been expended, leaving only the remaining 1/5 full bag of pellets to use. I'll have to order another bag of pellets soon, though having to pay $10 shipping for a $5 bag of food will probably never sit right with me, especially due to the adult frogs not being big fans of it. Despite the food from Xenopus Express being the only food specifically formulated for African Clawed Frogs, my female, Tiny, still simply prefers Reptomin floating pellets, to be fair, I raised her and all of my frogs on Reptomin until I found the Xenopus pellets. My male, Scout, doesn't seem to mind eating the Xenopus sinking pellets, however, I'd prefer to only have to feed one food at a time during feedings.

The only other company that claims to have a food specific to their frogs is the Growafrog company, however, it's not generally held in high regard as a staple diet - either for froglets or juveniles, and especially not adults. Additionally, I've heard they have a habit of sending whatever species they have on hand when frogs are ordered, meaning the food is not specifically formulated for African Clawed Frogs to begin with. After I send out the last of the offspring, I may retry feeding Reptomin, but for now, I'm going to still with the sinking pellets due to a combination of a lack of time and energy as a result of caring for so many frogs on top of my non-frog related activities. One method that I do use to save time is partially filling a plastic cup with water from the tank, pouring the desired amount of pellets into the cup, and then pinching the air out of any remaining floating pellets before pouring the contents into the tank.

Current Totals:

8 - 10 gallon (Tadpole Tank)
34 - 20 gallon (Frog Tank) [9 froglet, 25 juvenile]
