I got an eco-aquarium for christmas but the bamboo died and I think the ‘tank’ isn’t suiteable anyway. I have a five gallon tank but how long do i let the filter run in it until i put the frogs in it? And how do i put the frogs in so the temperature of the 2 tanks dont hurt the frogs?
Im going to fill the tank with spring water, if that matters.
I just want to say how happy I am to hear that your frogs are being moved to a real tank. Rarely do you see this sort of intelligence on Yahoo answers.
Agreed with the above poster, you need to add water conditioner (from the fish section) to remove chlorine and other substances from your tap water before you add the frogs. As far as temperature goes, treat them like you would a fish: put them in a, say, quart-sized ziploc bag with some of their original water and float them in the new tank. Every five minutes, add a little bit of water from the new tank so they’ll gradually adjust to the new water conditions. Do this for twenty minutes to a half hour and then move JUST the frogs to the new tank.
Good luck!
When they were tadpoles I checked photos on the internet to see if they were cane toads and they didn’t fit the description and now they have turned into little tiny frogs (still with tails on) and they are brown and I am starting to wonder again.
toads are generally warty and rough as guts looking and can tolerate drier conditions. frogs are smooth skinned and like to stay wet at all times…
Can someone please tell me how to unlock the toad houses? And also, what is the little black cannon used for and how do you unlock it?
Heres a picture of the cannon and the toad house:

To acess the toad Houses, you have to pay 5 Star Coins to remove the sign. Find them in the levels.
To access cannons, you have to find secret exits in levels - that first one in the image is accessed from a secret exit in the Tower.
Yeah, I know frogs are meant to be prettier than toads, but is there a scientific background to this delineation between two very similar species? Does it have something to do with their place of residence ie. amphibious or non-amphibious, or is it a moniker (namely the toad) borne from folklore, as in toads are ‘evil’ and used by witches, warlocks and the like.
Frogs and toads actually have more in common than they have in differences. Telling a frog and toad apart is really comparing it to the early common frog or common toad. Though frogs and toads are different species, they both belong to the same family. Both are amphibians, and both like the water, though frogs spend a later portion of their lives in water. The toad may hop farther from the water source however, and are frequent visitors to people’s gardens.
One way to tell the difference between a frog and toad is skin texture. The toad tends to have dry, bumpy, and possibly warty skin. The frog conversely has smooth skin. A frog pulled out of the water tends to feel relatively slimy or velvety, depending on whether you’re talking to a fan of frogs. The expression slimy toad really doesn’t make much sense, since toads simply do not feel slimy to the touch.
Another difference between the frog and the toad is the location of poison sacs behind the eyes of the toad. Some frogs are poisonous to the touch, for example, the poison dart frog of South America. Handling these cute red frogs is not recommended, though it would be unlikely to cause death.
Animals often discover that biting a toad is highly unpleasant. Dogs frequently mouth toads found in yards and get a dose of poison from the eye region. If one sees a dog bite something on the ground and start foaming at the mouth immediately, chances are he has tried to snack on a toad. Usually this poison is not significant enough to do more than disgust the animal for a few hours.
The toad tends to have a shorter body, and its legs are often described as stubby or muscular. Frogs on the hand tend to have longer legs, and can be distinguished from the toad by their webbed back feet. The frog’s eyes tend to be protuberant. The toad has more recessed eyes.
One type of toad, the nectophrynoides, which is found in Tanzania, can do one thing no frog can do. It bears live young. Most toads, however, lay eggs just like frogs. If one encounters a clutch of frog or toad eggs, one can usually tell them apart by the clustering. Frog eggs are laid in tight circular batches. Toad eggs are usually laid in long strings.
it till Spring time. Really not sure how the heck the little guy got into the house in the first place? If I keep it what will I need? Thank you
I deal with reptiles I have a five foot python and study all animals. so! you have a toad well if you want to keep it you must like animals,reptiles. well first of all,if you put the toad out side no it will not die.WHY? im glad you asked.when winter time comes. A lot of the reptiles have a natural antifreeze in their system that puts them in a hibernation mode. For example, garter snakes, bees, spiders, and frogs.For example: If you put a garter snake in your freezer, it will freeze, but come back to life when you put it outside in the warmth. If you want to keep it, get a reptile bedding. You can buy this at the pet store. It would be something like Aspen or Cedar mulch. It comes in a bag and isn’t very expensive. You can use a fish tank. Just be careful, because toads can get big. Put a little water in there in an old tupperware bowl and feed it crickets or freeze dried moths. You can also buy at the pet store. Keep the tank between 75 and 80. Use an inexpensive stick on thermometer. If you use a heat lamp, keep it on one side of the tank and the water on the other side. Any other help you need, you can ask a pet store. If it seems too hard, throw it outside. It will live unless eaten by something bigger.
i know that frogs do it by the female laying the eggs and then the male fertilising them. ive got 2 fire bellied toads, and i see them humping all the time. now my female toad is pregnant, and i was wondering whats gonna happen when she gives birth. will it just be the same as the frogs way? do i have to do anything to allow them to lay there eggs?
Firebelly toads breed the same way as any other frogs or toads do. They are humping because they are just going through the motions. The female becomes fat with eggs, which the male will then have to fertilize externally. Make sure you keep the water clean of waste after they spawn.
The golden toad went extinct about 7 years ago in Costa Rica. Do have an answer to this question?
many species of amphibian are going extinct daily due to a combination of reduction of habitat, pollution, and chytridiomycosis, which is a fungal disease that is killing many frog species. Some are now extinct in the wild and alive only in captivity, such as the Panamanian golden frog.
There is more information on the national geographic website.

We have beat 3-4 and 3-5, hit the red switch and recieved the star from the yellow toad house, but the path the the world 3 castle will not open up. We have now beat 3-4 and 3-5 at least 5 times a piece with no luck. How do we unlock the castle?
The answer lies in 3-4. You must go through the pipe which brings you out to another competion flag to grab onto. I recommend going through the pipe AFTER you have hit the switch for the red blocks. In other words, the second time through this level.
I got a kit thing for Christmas and im not sure what to get so can anyone name a beginner frog or toad that is:
-any size
- able to be handled
- does NOT need a filter (i can easily change the water myself though)
- lives part out of water and part in
- lives in groups of 2 or more (not necessary but appreciated!)
- does not need a large tank (smaller the better!)
Thank you!! =D
One that when kissed turns in to a handsome Prince.
I got a dwarf frog some weeks ago. I have been feeding it bloodworms. But today its been laying on its back. When i touched it with the net to see if it was dead it moved and swam away upside-down. Its been doing this all day. Why is this?
i might die soon, or its hibernating, or maybe it just sleepin
