mud puppy salamanders how do i take care of them?

by

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?

by

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!

when my tadpole becomes a frog?

by

i bought a tadpole. i know how to care for it now, but what do i need to do with it as it starts to turn into a frog? and when it is a full grown frog? ( i have a pac man frog as well, so i'm assuming that i just feed any other frog crickets too….) and don't worry, i know not to put them in the same aquarium. lol

oh, and i know i put this under reptiles.. even though a frog is an amphibian

All frogs like bugs,but you can feed him little bits of hamburger too.Just hold it on a straw or small stick of somekind,wiggle it a tiny bit & he will snap it right down!
What is a pacman frog? I love frogs & know who pacman is,but never heard of a pacman frog!
