If your Aro have a good appetite to eat.. let it eat..

I feed my Aro with Bullfrogs each meal till it doesn't want to eat...

I live in the states, and my friend and I bought those african dwarf frogs for a special treat every now and then to change up his diet a little. Now he couldn't eat any bullfrogs like totoro's MASSIVE aro, but it's not uncommon. I was thinking spring peepers might not be a bad idea for this either seeing as how they are abundant here in Missouri.

Why would anyone feed their aro frogs? Personally, I love african dwarf frogs. I'm actually sick to my stomach thinking of my little Zen being eaten alive. But, seriosuly, wouldn't it much much healthier/cheaper to stick with feeders or insects? I'm not blaming you, because obviously everything has to eat. But why frogs?

Well in the wild amphibians are part of an aros diet. I'm speaking of a silver aro where is he talking about a red but still. We did it just to diversify it's diet a once every month or two thing. I used to keep tree frogs but some how little frogs like that I look at more as feeders.
