I ran a quick google search on keeping them, but all I can get is a map to Sabino canyon and some endangered road (which isn't what I have) I caught them in a stagnant pond on a wall, the wall was white and they WERE white but turned darker because the gravel they're on is black (I knew frogs did this) I know a little about amphibians, they require water and land and they use the sun for heat during the day. I know they feed on bugs like crickets and stuff, and they like humidity. I got three adult frogs and three tadpoles, one has baby frog legs, one is a little younger, then there's a tiny baby one. So firstly, if anyone can direct me to a link or google search that has info on how to care for them, please do tell me! And I have a few quick questions which I need to know because it's important to their health:
1. I there a supplement food pellet that the frogs can eat instead of crickets? (I'd like to have the crickets be more of a once a month thing) I know aquatic frogs do, but these guys are semi-aquatic.
2. Will the adults adjust quickly, or will it take some time?
3. Can you guys give me a guess on the tadpoles ages?
4. Any idea what species of frog I have?
Here are some pics of the tank, I think I set it up right:
They're set up in a 10g with fluorescent lights and there's a bubbler because I'm pretty sure tadpoles have gills (but I forget) so can someone clear that up for me?
My guppies in a seperate tank keep having babies, will the frogs eat them if I put some of the fry in their cage? (I do want them to be eaten, the other babies are being fed to my friends turtles)
Another question, is it possible for frogs to coexist with crabs? I'm not sure how docile they are, but they are neat looking. I'm talking about either the actual crabs or the hermit crabs.
EDIT: I think they might be canyon tree frogs, and the adults have an unnatural parasite on them that are orange and resemble seed beads, although slightly smaller than that. A quick google said that manual removal and some kind of mite medication can get rid of these, any ideas on what that actual med might be? The tadpoles appear to be unaffected by the mite breakout.
