How are stone frogs raised? Young man Huang Liwen from Enshi, Hubei, succeeds with mountain farming

There is a kind of animal that likes to live beside clear water pits on shady hillsides or near waterfalls with stone caves. Because its meat is tender and delicious and highly nutritious, it has become a farming target for many rural people. This is the stonefrog。

Huang Liwen, a young man from Zhongxinchang Village, Xiaocun Township, Xianfeng County, Enshi Prefecture, Hubei, took advantage of his hometown's water quality resources to start farming stonefrogs. In the first year, Huang Liwen invested more than 100,000 and built ponds of over 1,000 sq m. At the beginning, due to lack of experience, the farming ended in failure.

Thinking of the more than 200,000 yuan he had already invested, Huang Liwen decided to keep going. He learned Quasipaa spinosa farming techniques through various channels, and began rebuilding the breeding ponds, looking for suitable water sources and researching farming feed. Through his own efforts, Huang Liwen finally figured out a set of farming methods, and his Quasipaa spinosa farming also succeeded.

Huang Liwen said that many people now call to order goods. There are fewer frogs on the markets in Fujian and Zhejiang, so the market is very large. As long as you announce they are for sale, people come right away and haul them all off.
