Froggy Feed Time Photo for Inny

how hard are froggies to keep anyway, been thinking about it for ages... what size tank would be cool etc...

[indicus]

Pending how many?, but a pair or trio etc, would be fine in a stardard aqurium.....providing its humid and moist and their fed and cleaned regular, you shouldnt have a problem....I've seen some brillant set-ups, mock-rock, logs, moss, pebbles, greenery and a pond....looks great, Let your imagination go, you can really create a top exhibit. Something the whole family can enjoy.....

I knew a gtf would take a opinkie but never would've thought they'd go something that size,he is a guts isn't he!!!That pic's a beauty,i bet someone would love something like that in a book :idea:

Found this with a Google Search. " The species is long-lived and the oldest recorded captive frog died at 23 years of age."

Awesome,..i'd believe it..fat, green, old with little respect for household furnishings, pee'ed, down the front of the computer, and looks rather content...

Anthony Stimpson has a pair 21 yrs old Baz! key apparently is not overfeeding! pinkies and mice put a strain on internal organs, shorten lifespan, not too often.

We only feed ours once a week (obviously when they were babies they were fed every day). They will eat about four or five woodies and after that they just put their heads down and will no way eat any more! If we go to feed them more often they just don't want them! About once every 3 months I'll give them a pinkie mouse! And they are all hand fed so that we know that they all got some.I just love em!!!!!

What a cute line up. Little rocks with feet.
lol
And that hilarious fatty frog eating. lol. I want frogs but because so many different ones hop into the house when they can or hang on the windows, Moth doesn't see the point of keeping one.
But we've got a creek and a pond, so they stay around.

Geez you must be quick with the camera! My little Lily has it all down in the tummy before I can blink!

Does that perhaps mean that I need to feed her something a little larger?
