Frogs! :)

[maddybrat]

I bought a habitat and we have lots if frogs in our yard! I wanna catch one and keep it as a pet. Any advice?

 

[alLexX]

feed it live food(bugs) and keep the water clean

 

[maddybrat]

And sometimes could I feed them frog food?

 

[alLexX]

i doubt wild caught frogs would eat frog food,but you could try

 

[maddybrat]

Haha okay. What substrate.. ?? Grass. Fresh? Sand?

 

[alLexX]

i would do like a half land half water tankm with dirt as substrate and native plants(grass,mosses,etc)

Make sure they have dry land, and wet land, to mess around in. Give them lots of twigs and branches to have fun on. You can feed them crickets.

Also I don't know exactly what kind of frog it is, but if it's a common tree frog, they do best with the tank being sprayed a couple times a day, to give it more humidity and overall dampness. You can use just a simple spray bottle and mist it over the tank.

Peace,

Do they swim? Or just enough water to stay moist?

Do you know the species? If not, try to put up a picture. A lot of frog care is similar, but the species can make a difference.

If it's a type of tree frog, they enjoy some swimming. But if it's more of a frog as in like a toad type frog, just enough to stay moist would be fine.

We are gunna find one and show you guys.

 

[maddybrat]

Just got done! rinsed out the glass before I did anything.

[maddybrat]

You guys like?
I think it's pretty darn cool!

 

[FishCrazyBenBOMB]

Looks great!

 

[maddybrat]

Does it seem big enough?

 

[FishCrazyBenBOMB]

For one frog, yes. If you want more then one frog, I'd suggest moving up to at least a 10 gallon tank. They would defiantly be happier with more space, like all animals.

 

[maddybrat]

It needs to get dark so I can catch some froggies!

 

[maddybrat]

Should be fairly easy. because they are my door every night. !

 

[absolutangel04]

Lol, I hope they don't pick this as the one night when they will hide.

 

[maddybrat]

Ya. My luck. now I'm jinxed!
