I'm very keen on adding frogs to my collection, would love a colony of a small species so just wondering whats available to the average keeper? I would love some kind of froglet or toadlet if they are available. Failing that what small tree frogs are in the hobby, i quite like the little sedge treefrogs. Any info on whats available and sources for such species is much appreciated
 
I have 10 Southern Brown Tree Frogs (Litoria Ewingii) and I love them!
They are an active little frog and easy to keep...

I've kept this species for many years and love them.
 
Red Eyes
Peroni
Dainty
Brown Tree

I keep red eyes and dainty looking for more of the above!
If you know any one tell us!
 
Have had sedgies before and they are a cool little frog. Not much room needed and they are very easy to care for . I do know someone who keeps and breeds them so if you do end up wanting some send me a message and I can put you in touch.
 
Crinia signifera, a froglet... I had 3 but they are soo tiny they escaped. Feeding was a chore at times because you had to get tiny insects. Im not sure how common they are in captive though, the breeder was local but has stopped breeding now so I cant get anymore.
 
very nice, how olds that little guy? I've found a few Crinia's, great little frog, exactly what i'm looking for :)
 
I think that guy was 6 months in the picture, would love to keep some more one day.

Thats crazy, so that was 6 months old, do they grow any bigger?

Imagine their tadpoles and and baby frogs!!!!!*
 
Crinia signifera, Litoria fallax are held in reasonable numbers, there are also Pseudophyrne australis and P. semimarmorata in private hands too.

Cheers,

I'm not into frogs ,dont get me wrong I like them,but maybe to the fact that as soon as it gets warm I have frogs everywhere including places that I wish they didnt go like my loo and shower :)...anyway I think this is a little 'full grown' sedge frog very tiny ...(taken at the snakes down under in Childers)

I actually got these guys during the last of the tadpole stage... they can grow to 2cm to 3 cm when fully grown


Here's a group shot. At first I thought I had another type of frog because one was more yellow then the rest but apparently they come in a few different colours.
 
im trying to track down some leaf green tree frogs - putting them and dainty's in a setup near the end of the year.
in Vic we dont need a licence for Crinia signifera, trying to get some of these too
 
I just got some Red Eyed Tree Frogs off another member. They are perfect size, probably around the size of a matchbox and have so far proved to be a hardy species. I would also consider getting some Southern Brown Tree Frogs, as they dont require any heat source.

Hi I read in your post that you have red eye tree frogs and purchased them from another member. I have been after them for quite some time and wondering if you would be kind enough to point me in the direction of the seller so I can try to purchase 4. I already have GTF's and 2 baby Mag's but wanted to complete my collection with some Red Eyes. Be happy to go through yourself or direct to your seller. Thanks in advance.
