I just bought two frogs. one is an albino african clawed frog and the other is either a dwarf or a clawed, I cant tell and the people at walmart didn't put a label on the container. What do they eat and how often should I feed them? When should I feed them? How much of the freeze dried blood worms should I feed them? A pinch or two? The best answer to my question will get 10 points.

  1. Xenopi should be fed once a day with as much food as they will consume in 15 minutes.  Avoid overfeeding; it only clouds the water.  Content African Frogs will often take food from their keeper's fingers.  They'll nibble the keeper too, but their toothless mouths can't do any damage.  In the wild, Clawed Frogs are happy to dine on living, dead, and dying arthropods, bits of organic garbage, and loose material from putrefying corpses of miscellaneous vertebrates.  For captive specimens, Reptomin (tm) sticks are excellent basic fare as are many other heavily proteinaceous foods compounded primarily for aquatic turtles. Pieces of lean raw beef, insects and larvae, cat and dog food, shrimp, worms, etc. may be offered.  Supplementation with calcium or vitamins is unnecessary if professionally balanced formula foods are used as a dietary staple. ♥


  2. My albino African clawed frog eats newt and salamander pellets or frog and tadpole bites but she prefers the newt food. She is about 3 inches long and eats about 3 pinches of pellets a day at the same time, but since you have two, you might want to feed them more. If food is left uneaten, feed them less less. I would not suggest feeding them live food because some fish may have diseases that can harm your frogs. good luck!
