Exactly, only as a treat...when they're good.

If they believe in themselves and work hard, they can do anything!

A standard 3ft (90cm) aquarium would adequately house three to four adult frogs.

Wow that picture brings back fond memories, 30 odd years ago when I was a kid (here in Nowra area) we used to find heaps of green tree frogs in the wild, I have not seen one in the wild for many years, are they still around? I have lately noticed quite a lot of little beige coloured frogs about 3-4 cm long living in my vegie patch (they love sitting amongst the lettuces) :-) Sorry for straying of topic!
