In the wild banded bullfrogs eat a lot of small insects such as hundreds of ants each day, but they aren’t particularly picky and banded bullfrogs will eat almost any small insect.<\/p>\n

In the wild banded bullfrogs do well, some even claim that their population is increasing which is unusual for a frog these days. This is in spite of being collected for the pet trade and even as a food item.<\/p>\n

Banded bullfrogs can be kept as pets, they are considered to be easy to care for and they appear to be commonly available in pet stores in North America.<\/p>\n

In captivity chubby frogs can be fed crickets, flies and other small insects. If they do eat a lot of crickets chubby frogs can easily become fat. Chubby frogs also tend to be somewhat sedentary, kind of like a pacman frog<\/a> and can live in a relative small space.<\/p>\n

When bothered chubby frogs excrete a sticky substance to make themselves less appetizing — a bit like what tomato frogs<\/a> do.<\/p>\n
