are the BF dying, cannot last long..??

juz washing/rinsing the BF daily or 2x daily if u cramp them in a small container, water to be kept at minimal - 5mm will do .. i dun feed the BF i kept, normally can last up to 2 weeks, but they do become a little skinny by then .. i try to keep 1 weeks' supply ussually...

Mine could usually last me at least 1 week... although most of the time...it'll be gone in a couple of days.

I keep them in a pail with appox 5 - 10mm of water and change the water every day... no feeding at all.

just take those cheap cheap food container then poke some holes on the cover ..
then just put in A BIT of water.barely enuff to cover half the body of the bf.then just change water daily..if u wanna feed it..i try keeping a bf for 3 months as a pet. lol.
feed it daily with a small gf.in the end grown too big have to release it..

daily water change for your bullfrogs are a must. apart from clean water, monitor the temperature of the area your bullfrogs are kept.

I keep mine in the living room where the windows are closed for the entire day as noone is home, causing the temperature to go up. this rise in temperature caused many of my bullfrogs to die.

actually i think the most important thing for me is i always tilt my container so that there is alot of dry area for them.. i used to lose like 1 bf per day until i start tilting the container.. even 1 week nv change water also never die..

I'm not sure but lately I've stopped buying bullfrogs since they are a lot more fragile...or maybe it is just my experience.

I normally buy 50 as I do not have much time...used to be able to keep for a week but the last few batches I've been losing lock stock and barrel. Now keep to feeder fish and MP...
