Read with the complete profile and individual plan.

## Before arrival

- [ ] The proposed 90 × 45 × 45 cm layout is an adult planning starting point, not a tested universal minimum. A large male or heavily furnished enclosure may need more room. [Full advice](https://wildformexotics.co.uk/animals/african-bullfrog/#knowledge-housing)
- [ ] Plan for male adult size if a juvenile’s sex is uncertain. Keep one frog and arrange an amphibian vet. [Full advice](https://wildformexotics.co.uk/animals/african-bullfrog/#knowledge-commitment)

## Routine checks

- [ ] Each day, inspect water, controls and condition. [Full advice](https://wildformexotics.co.uk/animals/african-bullfrog/#knowledge-checklists)

## When to stop and seek help

- [ ] Obesity, lesions, swelling, weakness, respiratory signs or persistent refusal need an amphibian vet. [Full advice](https://wildformexotics.co.uk/animals/african-bullfrog/#knowledge-health)
- [ ] Do not apply mammal or reptile medicines to frog skin or induce dormancy to treat feeding problems. [Full advice](https://wildformexotics.co.uk/animals/african-bullfrog/#knowledge-health)
