A sponge-like stick developed to soften rapidly when soaked in water to take on the consistency of a live food most "Pacman" frogs desire.
Feeding:
Prior to feeding, dip each pellet in pure water for about 2 seconds. Hold in feeding forceps and move from side to side just under frogs mouth. To make a mega-pellet, add 20 drops of water (using eye dropper) per pellet, let sticks full absorb water for about 20-30 seconds and compress multiple sticks in to one super-sized ball no larger than 40% of your frog's diameter. Feed as noted below.
Body Length | Feeding Intervals | Feeding Amount |
---|---|---|
3cm to 5cm (1" to 2") | Every 3 Days | 1/2 to 1 Pellet |
5cm to 10cm (2" to 4") | Every Week | 3 to 5 Pellets |
Over 10cm (4") | Every 2 Weeks | 5 to 12 Pellets |
Do not feed on consecutive days as the digestive system of Ceratophrys require interval feeding for proper assimilation.
Soaking the pellets for more than a few seconds will not allow them to remain intact for efficient feeding. Even if the pellet is not fully softened, digestion is not negatively impacted.
