A Year With Frog and Toad

And can they roam free in the house?

Honestly, if I were you I wouldn’t get a pet toad because they are not used to a closed environment such as a house. They need to be kept in a water filled habitat.

The main character was a mole named "Moochie" I believe. He lived in a mole-hole that was very messy. He had a girl friend who would visit and complain of his messes. The book was hand illustrated. Can anyone help me? The book reminds me of "Oscar Otter" by Nathaniel Benchley (author), Arnold Lobel (illustrator). I think that Moochie might have been part of the "Read Me First" series–though I may be wrong.

Thanks!

I have a leopard frog tadpole and was wondering what size aquarium he needs and what type of decor and rocks do they like? I have read that as adults if hey are bored they will drown there selves, is that true? If you know of any websites or have any tips please let me know. Also how often should i feed it as a tadpole and frog? what should he be eating? i gave him some boiled lettuce last night.

Here are a few sites. I like the first one the most.

I found a toad recently and have had it about a week. It was a pale color at first and now is turning black. What is the reason for this change?

if were talking about bufo americanus the american common toad then they can change color. Your toads skin color changes depending on temperature, humidity, and stress. The color change ranges from yellow to brown to black.

i would really advise u put it back where u found it taking toads from the wild seriously stresses them out this can lead to illness or even death also many dont make it past a month in captivity and more die soon after that in otherwords your just being cruel by keeping it please put it back where u found it and buy a toad from a pet store

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!
