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!
I just saw a video of bull frogs swallowing whole BIG spiders and scorpions. I thought the spider’s fangs would ruin the frog’s whole day or kill him. I also thought that stinger on the scorpion would totally stop the bull frog from living? How can they do this?
When a frog catches its prey, it quickly bites, stunning its prey with the bite. The frog then closes its mouth and may crush a softbodied prey in the process. The frog will also make sure that its prey is not moving, by holding it between the roof of the mouth and the tongue, before swallowing. While the prey is inside the mouth, the frog secrets a large amount of digestive enzymes onto its prey to help it go down its gut smoothly. After having been stunned, crushed and coated with digestive enzyme, a spider or scorpion would have no chance to sting or bite.
I need to know for a paper at school and i cant find water frogs anywhere.
What you are looking for are the common frogs which are amphibians that live in the water and on land! They are only differ in their varieties and characteristics.
Like most animals in the world, frogs have special features to help them survive the wild that they live in. When a frog has webbed feet you can tell that it is a good swimmer. Did you know that there is a reason that frogs have big mouths? It’s because their teeth aren’t very good at chewing, so they need to have a big mouth to swallow things whole. A frog’s eyes & nostrils are located on the top of their heads so they can breathe (and spot predators) while the rest of their bodies is hidden underwater. Do you know that frogs have slime covering their bodies? It keeps the frogs skin from drying out. Frogs eyes are big because sight is their major sense that they use the most.
Frogs, believe it or not have predators. Some predators of frogs include (on land) birds, lizards, and snakes. In the water some predators are sharp teethed fish, mammals, water shrews, and birds. The main ways that a frog keeps itself away from predators are hiding under stones and leaves, (using camouflage). Some people in many countries are starting to eat frogs. Parasites take away food from frogs before they can digest the food.
A lot of frogs have defense mechanisms to help protect themselves. One of the defense mechanisms is the frog’s color. Bright colors may warn predators that they are poisonous.
I am considering getting back into keeping tree frogs, I haven’t had any in years. I have a 10 gallon hex aquarium that I want to convert for green tree frogs. I live in a colder climate so I want to make sure that the tree frogs with have plenty of warmth but won’t get cooked. What do you find works best for your tree frogs?
I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them.
This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me,
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep.
I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
I have two green tree frogs. They are each about 2 inches long. I buy 15 micro crickets from the pet store and just put them all in there and they eat them. How often should I do this?
we feed ours every two days, they don’t always eat all the cricket we put in as a treat we get maggots from a fishing shop, let the crystallize and put the cases in the tank with the frogs, when the flies hatch out the frogs go mad for them, we only put about a dozen cases in at a time the rest if kept cold will stay dormant for ages, but the frogs love them, you can also feed earth worms as well, 15 micro crickets should last a few days,
I’m a new owner to the 2 ACF’s, i’ve had the 3 goldfish for a little while. Got the frogs a few days ago, they havent eaten at all, everytime i try to feed the goldfish eat everything, even if i feed flakes first, then pellets for frogs…I even tried seperating the frogs in a different tank, but they still will not eat, and i fear that the stress of netting / transferring tanks to eat is effecting them…
I’ve done my research and found many people saying do not keep with fish many people saying its okay…i’m willing to take the risk, just cant quite get how to feed them without over feeding the fish, its too much stress on them to transfer to another tank
hmmm…
I dont think its a very good idea to mix the frog and the fish especially if you keep them in an aquarium.
i was wonderin if a vivarium with live plants and some poison dart frogs would be a good idea for a beginner(like me) or are there any other colourful frogs which are easier to keep?
also are poison dart frogs available in New Zealand?
Agreed that poison dart frogs are not a great ’starter’ frog.
However if you truly have your heart set then consider
"D auratus" which is considered by many the best first time poison dart frog. The website Blackjungle.com dissents saying this:
"Frequently D. auratus are presented as the best starter frog however we do not necessarily agree. Although they are nice frogs and do not require much financial risk, they tend to hide much of the time and rarely come out except to feed. People often become frustrated with the species’ secretive habits and give up dart frogs before they have even given them a fair chance. The D. tinctorius group are not shy at all and will even come to the front of the tank looking for food when you approach. Although they cost a little more it is usually money well spent."
If you’re interested in looking into something a little larger.. Waxy Monkey frogs or Whites tree frogs might interest you 
I have heard that they think that a tornado sucks them out of a lake and shoots them fantastic distances, but this would still leave questions, such as why would it only be frogs, or fish (another animal that has rained from the sky) and not both together, or any other mixture of aquatic animals. It always seems to be one particular animal. Additionally, wouldn’t there be aquatic plant life that would rain down as well and verify that it came from a lake or pond or something? I have also heard of at least one occurrence of it raining men.
I have heard of it raining fish. Something like…there was no rain for a really long time and this lake evaporated into the clouds and the little fish eggs grew and when it finally did rain they hatched and it rained fish…I dunno if it’s true, but it’s cool to believe it could happen.
Now, I don’t see clouds sustaining the weight of a man or men for that matter, so that seems kind of ridiculous.
I found some frogs hiding underneath some rain catches in my backyard and I made a pool and gave them food. But is it legal to have frogs that come from the wild? If your just going to say "yes" or "no" then please don’t answer. Please prove it to me.
Yes, frogs are legal in GA. As long as you are not containing them to your backyard, you should be fine anyway.

My tadpoles have just turned into pacific tree frogs and i would like to know how long it takes for them to reach their full size
It takes about a year for them to mature and reproduce
