Depends on how many you want to keep, a very rough guide is 1 foot per frog.

Depends on your location, they need water, warmth, ventilation, u.v and a very secure enclosure as they are brilliant at escaping!!!

The are one of the best out of frogs, make sure your hands are clean, then wash them again to remove all soap, and then wet them.

They grow to aprox. 9-10 cm

I live in Melbourne and have a aquarium heater in the water set at 28 in winter and 26 in summer, that and the u.v provides enough heat. Also warming the water helps humidity in the tank.
