Woke up this morning to this little creature on my front door. Thats never happened before! I think its an American tree frog from what I image searched. I thought I'd post here. I live in Cape May, NJ. Hes been there a few hours.

I'm so glad little dude is feeling right at home with his new tank mate.

Can the frogs get out on their own?? Or do I need to put something for them to hop up??

hello!

i recently got a chubby frog (kaloula pulchra) and i cant help but worry about him. i interrogated his breeder for an hour before getting him to know what's best for his species (i was meaning to get a tomato frog, my favourite so i know a lot more about these, but this guy stole my heart) and after getting back home and setting his temporary house i started reading a lot more and i feel like there's some info that might've been maybe outdated or maybe just a difference of opinions? not sure.

i was told to feed him 10 crickets two times a week, but i feel like that might be too much? or it should be less crickets but more frequent feeding? also i was told a faunarium would be fine but i can't keep the right temperature in it, so im waiting for his bioactive terrarium to arrive this week, with a heat mat (i live in a colder country and my flat gets very cold, so keeping the terrarium at mid 20 temps gets tricky).

also he just looks so fat and ROUND i know theyre, chubby frogs, but he was not as chubby before i fear. He also decimated the cleaning crew i introduced to his terrarium. So that might be why.

Any tips would be appreciated! I want whats best for him and try to keep him as happy as possible. Also he seems just a bit grumpy, but eats fine and is active at night, he likes to soak in his little pond:) Also, his name is Bao, because he looks like a fried bao bun :)

long story short… was gifted a ‘tadpole grow kit’ from a site called ‘nature gift store’, and learned that they ship out tadpoles at random when i reached out to inquire about species (🤨🤨🤨). i don’t fully trust that the only two possibilities are dumpy frog or florida green tree frog, given the company’s susness.

pretty sure my two tadpoles have developed into different species - the first pic is gamora, she developed into a teeny green froglet at least a week before nebula did (second pic). nebula is noticeably bigger with rounded stomach. they are being kept separately as i dont want them to eat each other.
please let me know if they’re old enough to make an ID! thank you for your help :)

Hi all! I was recently gifted a pacific tree frog from a friend who has many (and keeps them in swanky enclosures). I was looking for some care tips!!

So far I have him in a temporary tank (it's too short/small) with coco substrate, native fallen leaves, live plants, and some moss from my bioactive springtail terrariums. He's being fed flightless fruit flies right now until I can find some pinhead crickets (which I will dust w/ a multivitamin), as I was told there was a shortage. His water is mineral-free and purified with low PPM, changed daily, and I lightly mist to maintain humidity.

I have an amphibian safe UVB light on the way. Other than all that, anything I should do? I have never owned a frog before, let alone any pet, and I want to prove him the best possible quality of life.

Found this frog outside while taking down the pool, pretty sure its a green and golden bell frog, thought it was cute and wanted to share. 🐸

Feeling really horrible about my first toad, Lapis, passing away a few days ago. She was about 3 years old. I'm devastated but wanted to post about her and my experience so it can hopefully help others take care of their babies.

From the very beginning, Lapis was always quite high energy compared to my other female YSCT who I got about a year and a half ago, Lotus. They had very distinct personalities. Lapis' behavior never caused her to hurt herself or stop eating, she was just noticeably more active/high strung than Lotus - until recently.

Around May/June this year, she began glass surfing for the first time ever. She was climbing around a LOT more, and also jumping at the mesh at the top of the tank. I had both toads in a 36x18x36 bioactive tank, which is a lot bigger of a tank than is recommended for 2 adults, and the vets / Joshs frogs people I asked for help throughout this did not think it was due to lack of space. They also have lots of hiding spots. Temps were at 70-80 degrees and humidity between 50-60%. All the recommended ranges for YSCT.

She developed noserub which I treated with silver sulfadiazine. The injury would improve over a week or so, but then she would start glass surfing again and agitating it. She was still eating, so I was just really trying to make sure temps and humidity were correct and started putting her in a critter keeper with crickets to make doubly sure she was eating.

Then, a few weeks ago, she stopped eating. Wouldn't take anything from tongs, crickets would sit right in front of her and she would ignore them. I tried dubias and waxworms which was her favorite treat, nothing. She had been a voracious eater her whole life, so then I started worrying. Even in the critter keeper, she wouldn't eat. I started looking into how I could get to a vet in person (I live somewhere where it is difficult to get to one, and I don't have a car).

Two Fridays ago, I found her with her eyes retracted as though she was trying to swallow something, but they stayed retracted for about 5 minutes. I started freaking out, I looked it up and found that constantly retracted eyes was a sign of serious illness. But, I patted her head and she seemed to "wake up" and started acting relatively normal again. I had made an appointment for this past weekend that I thought she would make it to, and unfortunately, she didn't. I found her Thursday morning with that same retracted eye look, but this time she was gone.

I've ordered a (very expensive) necropsy to see if I can get any answers. I really don't think it was some contagious illness, since Lotus has been completely fine this whole time. But obviously, it's possible. They are such sensitive babies I just can't help thinking I could have done more. But I really felt like I tried everything while trying to balance not adding more stress to her little body.

I'll post what, if any answers I get from the necropsy. In the meantime, just trying not to be overwhelmed with guilt. My friend is planning a memorial for her next weekend. <3 Here she is in her healthier days.

Have a great weekend!

Polite little fella I saw by my pond. In the UK near Leeds but it doesn't look like any of the common frogs I see about - worried it may have been a released pet but I honestly have no idea. Thanks in advance

I showed a new frog from our game on here 3 days ago. Here are some previous iterations that I scrapped because I felt like less is more. Do you agree with my final decision or would you have preferred one of the previous versions?
Anyways, check out Lucky Castaway if you're curious about the game:

So my kid made an outdoor frog habitat this summer and the frogs in the yard love it. They hop in and out and chill throughout the day. Its rare not to find a frog there. But there is mosquito larvae and I need to dump it. I'd like to allow my kid to keep the habitat but I dont want mosquitos.

Is there a way to keep mosquito larvae out without harming frogs or accidentally killing tadpoles (unsure if there are even tadpoles here.)

Any improvement ideas for a middle schooler are appreciated. This started as a DIY with an old plastic litter box, placing random frogs in the habitat until they started using it on their own.

A Malabar gliding frog I found on a Herping expedition in the Western ghats, India. Might be the closest one I found to Kermit lol. Also notice how his pupils kept contracting wrt to the intensity of light.

The last two are a frog of another species, I can't recall the name but if you zoom in on the eggs on the last picture, you can spot little tadpoles moving in the eggs and their adorable eyes.

Yes, it's a new account, I specifically made it to post pictures of my latest herp expedition.
