Frog or Toad? how do i care for it? HELP PLEASE!?
i've raised this guy from a tadpole. i found him in a pond in Virginia. yesterday he became a FROG/TOAD! lol
i had planned to release him at my friends pond in her backyard but if he's a toad is that a bad idea?
currently, he is litterally the size of my pinky fingernail! do i need to keep him until he gets bigger to care for himself? and if so what do i feed him? how do i care for him?
do i need to make his housing all dirt and a shallow lid of water?
HELP PLEASE!!
THANKS!!
i've tried to include photos but i can't, he seems to be dark brown with tiny gold spots on his back
ok im not quite sure what species he is or what his needs are so my advice to u is
that he's big enough to care for himself release him at night near (not in) your mates pond and if he needs to stay there he will eventually wonder over there if he doesn't then he'll move to find the best habitat for himself
Can someone tell me it this sounds like I'm doing an ok job of taking care of my Cuban Tree Frog?
I'm new at the whole frog thing.
I have a Cuban TreeFrog in a 10 gallon tank.
It has a light on top
and I am watching the temp and humidity
I feed him approx. 3 crickets at night.
He has a little water tray.
I mist the tank in the morning and before I go to bed
He has plenty to climb on.
I change the bedding once a month.
does all that sound good enough or do I need to do more?
Thank you
It all does sound good, but I have two additional questions…
1) What is the wattage of light and average temperature in the tank?
2) What kind of bedding are you using?
The wattage of most reptile bulbs supplied in pet stores is usually too high for frogs. It dries out their environment faster and increases the temperature to an unsafe level. If on average you are able to keep the tank between 65 and 80 with or without a light, your frog will be OK.
The best kind of bedding you can use is the bedding that comes in bricks. They are condensed bricks made of coconut shell usually. It looks like dirt once you add water for it to expand and hold humidity like no other bedding can.
I used to be a manager at a pet store and heard a lot of stories about people neglecting their pets or not taking care of them properly. Sounds like you are doing great though!

mud puppy salamanders how do i take care of them?
im thinking of getting a mudpuppy salamander but i need to know every thing that will help me take care of them and if there legal in california.
I have quite a bit of experience with mudpuppies. They require a large aquarium with smooth rocks to hide under. They require cool, clean, oxygenated water.
You will need a good filter- undergravel with a powerhead is easiest.
Treat they water- they are very sensitive to ammonia and chlorine.
They eat small aquatic invertebrates and fish. Feed it minnows, earthworms, and small crawdads.
how to take care of a western pennsylvaina bull frog in the winter?
i rescued 4 bull frogs from a muddy pond that esd being condemended in Punxytani, pa and i was wondering how to take care of them in the winter, such as do they sleep?, tank temp?, how many crickets to feed each one?, and any other info anyone could give. also if anyone has any websites that could help, please let me know. thank you and any/all information is greatly appricated.
Please reconsider keeping them for the winter. Its great that you rescued them from being demolished, but please consider a few things. Most bullfrogs in the wild are carriers of parasites. That doesnt mean they are harmful to you if you are washing your hands properly, but they can make other animals in your house that they come into contact with sick.
Bullfrogs this time of year are looking for a place to burrow for the winter. They are not going to eat anything that you offer them (most likely) & it is very hard to duplicate their natural habitat for the winter. Most frogs taken this time of year from the wild will perish.
I'm really sorry as I am sure this wasnt the answer you were looking for. Please consider relocating them to another similar pond, perhaps one close to where you live so you may observe them in their natural setting.
Good luck to you!
