    Default My Hippo Frog


    My Budgett's Frog(Lepidobatrachus laevis), along with its wide comical face,
    has a body that seems entirely too large for its legs and I love to watch he rises to his full height
    to take breaths through.


    The frog crams his mouth with physical clumsiness.
    These characteristics have led to another common name, it is also called the "hippo frog".
    This is an adorable looking frog.
    But cute though it is, it will not hesitate to bite.

    They are comical! I was feeding large worms to my frogs the other day and I love the way they use their feet to cram food into their mouths!

    when they eat their prey, they use their feet to cram food so quickly into their mouths and it's very funny! lol

    It's like fangs, a pair of large fangs at the centre of inside, not very shapen, but it gonna be hurt, if you get a bite
    They eat everything including dubia roach/pinky mice/chick/shrimps/snails/fish etc
    But there is one rule
    DO NOT feed too much on them, or they die next day
    They look fat and comical, and a big appetite, but you have to control their diet
    I usually feed fishes and roaches

    Cool! Reminds me of fishing freshwater at night and you see frogs everywhere.
