Bullfrogs feed on aquatic plankton and terrestrial insects such as crustaceans, small fish and shrimp, snails, worms, spiders, cicadas and locusts. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice bran, peanut meal, etc. Can be used for artificially breeding bullfrogs. When feeding young bullfrogs, the feed must be put on the dining table and processed into granular feed with silkworm chrysalis, pig lungs, fish pieces and artificial compound feed. Generally, it is better to feed them 3-4 times a day and eat them within 2-3 hours each time.
The suitable growth temperature of bullfrog is 25-30℃. When the temperature is higher than 30℃ or lower than 12℃, the appetite decreases and the growth stops. A sunshade should be built in the frog pond in summer, and a plastic shed, frog nest and geothermal water can be built in winter.
How to breed bullfrogs
1, site selection and pool construction
Bullfrog is an amphibian, mainly living in water. Therefore, when raising bullfrogs, we must choose a place with sufficient water and good water quality, build a pond as a breeding ground, and enclose the pond with iron wire or iron net to prevent bullfrogs from escaping.
Step 2 feed the food
In the process of raising bullfrogs, it is necessary to provide them with animal feed such as Tenebrio molitor, earthworm, snail, moth, fish and shrimp, or artificial pellet feed. Pay attention to feeding them twice a day, and the feeding amount should be appropriate to avoid a large amount of food residue and affect the clean water quality.
3. Water quality requirements
Bullfrogs have low requirements for water quality, but they should not live in turbid water, otherwise toxic substances will appear in bullfrogs, thus reducing their life span. Therefore, it is necessary to change the water every two to three months and plant aquatic plants in the pond, which is conducive to purifying the water quality of the pond.
