ABSTRACT: The food and feeding habitat of the African Clawed Toad, Xenopus laevis collected from Rockwater fish farm Rayfield, Jos Plateau state were investigated over a ten month period. The range of food consumed does not differ significantly within the month of the study period (P>0.05). The relative abundance of a given prey population altered the diet composition of X. laevis. There was no significant change in mean condition factor with age. Computed values of correlation coefficients of length against weight indicates a highly significant correlation in females (r= 0. 897) and some level of significance in males (r= 0.105).
