Ok first of all what species do you have? I presume if you live anywhere but Africa it's a Conraua alleni (Allen's Goliath Frog).

I can't really answer that as I never kept any long enough to see them grow.
One tip I can give you is to try and keep them mostly aquatic, as they are much more docile in the water and less likely to damage themselves.
