African Frog wierd habits

[ropefishman]

I have an african frog in a mainly preditory 45 gallon tank. The person who sold it to me gave me something called frog bites to feed it. Well it doesn't eat them it eats every thing I put in for my preditory fish (frozen krill, feeder fish, carnivore pellets and every once in a while a fish after it dies) and it stuffs it's self with so much food. Is this bad or doesn't it matter, if it is bad what can I do?

its perfectly normal............which african frog have you got,dwarf or xenopus(large albino african clawed)?

[ropefishman]

Xenopus, but it's brown with claws and suposed to get to be a little smaller than a baseball (don't know if that matters or not).
