They'll eat, crickets, locusts etc as well as mice occasionally and of course fingers lol
Temperatures, 23-25C I give mine a small heat mat and find this is enough in a warm room, I find them to be pretty tolerant of a range of temps. Lighting as with other amphibs is a bit of a two sided opinion some will say yes they need it others no, I have kept them with a 2.0 Uv before and also without and haven't found any problems with keeping them without just as long as you supplement well and give a varied diet. Also they do burrow a lot so my opinion is that naturally they would receive very little natural light. Humidity keep obviously high, I keep mine on a mix of moss and eco earth and mist it daily. As babies they can be fed every 1-2 days and then as they grow every 3-4 days, supplement with calcium 3 times a week and with vitamins once a week. No they can't be kept together these things will eat anything they like and that will included their companion and no they don't hibernate.They don't shed either like snakes and lizards so nothing to worry about there. I think I've covered everything any other questions just ask ![]()

Amazon.co.uk: Horned Frogs (Herpetocultural Library): Philippe De Vosjoli: Books
Amazon.co.uk: The Horned Frog Family and African Bullfrog (Reptile Keepers Guides): Patricia Bartlett,R.D. Bartlett: Books Amazon.co.uk: Horned Frogs: Raymond E. Hunziker: Books any of these books will sort you out. an they're only a fiver each. don't keep them with anything that they can fit in their mouth, this includes gravel and other frogs. staple diet when full grown would be locusts, whan small various sizes of crickets, and they will happily eat mice, feed them emough to keep them as wide as they are long. if they get wider than they are long you are over feeding them, if they get longer than they are wide, you are under feeding them. they spend their whole life burried with their eyes poking out of the soil waiting for things to get within tongue range, if they get hot and dry, they will aestivate, this is normal and should happen once per year, for a few months. early december till march is about right. when small they need lots of calcium and a higher temperature around 82-84 F daytime when they've grown you can cool it down to mid to high 70's. |
