Allergic to Dwarf Frog food, frozen blood worms… Now what?

Posted on January 22, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

My daughter has one of those tiny dwarf frogs in her aquarium. She’s had him for about 4 years now, and he eats (thawed) frozen blood worms every other day from a brine shrimp net. For the first several years that we had him, I was the one who fed him, and I developed a horrible allergy to the blood worms. It severely affects my eyes and makes me extremely congested. So my daughter took over feeding the frog, but now she’s getting allergic reactions as well. It makes her skin break out and affects her breathing. It’s probably not safe for us to keep this frog, but we feel sorry for him. He’s used to our tank and our feeding methods… What are our options? Would a pet store take him back? Would that be cruel of us to try to find him a new home? What’s your advice? Thanks!

i have a baby african dwarf frog… (the large old one just passed away, so i got a new one…) this baby is only about a cm long… he wont eat anything i try to feed him… ive tried freeze dried blood worms, freeze dried brine shrimp, and flake food, but he wont eat it. i cant get to the store for a couple of weeks to buy frozen blood worms or brine shrimp, what can i feed him..(will tiny peices of frozen meat work..) any ideas would be great!!! also, should i keep him alone in his one gallon tank all to himself, or put him into a large already slightly overcrowded tank? and one last question… how long does it usually take for them to get fully grown? (my old one was two inches, but i bought him when he was fully grown…) i just want my baby froggie to be happy!! thanx in advance for any help and/or advise!!

Help feeding african dwarf frog?

Posted on November 10, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I bought my african dwarf frog about 4 months ago, and had him housed in a 2.5 gallon tank with a male betta fish, I have since then moved him into a 5 gallon tank along with 2 guppys and a dwarf gourami.Ever since I bought the little guy,I’ve had to suck up frozen blood worms throuh a turkey baster and slowly feed him because the other fish always eat it all first. Even with this method, the other fish get a lot of the worms and I am starting to get sick of doing this every 3 days.I’ve tried everything,including HBH frog and tadpole pellets,brine shrimp,Hikari carnivore pellets, and live food,but it seems that my frog doesn’t even try to hunt for the food as other people say.I’ve even tried grabbing a carnivore pellet and shoving it in his mouth,but it didn’t work, and the only way he eats is if i feed him through the turkey baster. I feed him at night as this is when they are most active, but it’s still very difficult,is his only my frog? And is there anything else I can do?

brine shrimp and frozen blood worms. All the other fish in my 55 gal tank eat it up and he wont pay attention to the food. He swims around the tank and doesn’t seem sick. I have started brackishing the water have live plants, hiding places etc. I dont want him to die. Help. His tank mates are 2 silver dollars, 2 kissing fish, a pleco and 3 mollies. I looked at his teeth and dont seem overgrown in any way. He is still very small about 1 inch and his belly is white.
