Whew, I thought frogs were hard to maintain as pets. Thankfully, they're not :D

[@sawyer8242]

They are found at your local pet store, usually by the fish ( in my store, witch is pet smart, ) but are also found by the reptiles ( turtles, lizards, etc. )

onjahbro They don’t like to breed North American natives because they don’t want to be responsible if someone releases their captive bred frog into the wild and it take over and become invasive to states or countries where it’s not from in NA.

hi Josh's Frogs, I would like to get a roundabout explanation for how big a pacman frog gets and if a 20 gallon would be big enough for an adult

VERY loud. Trust me, I know

[@timothyluscombe1876]

Hi this may be a bit random but would a surinam horned.frog or Asian leaf frog good for begginers

[@joshsfrogsvideos5594]

I would say that the surinam horned frog would be easier just based on the space requirement. Adult Asian leaf frogs need about 30 gallons of space whereas a surinam horned toad needs much less space. Wild caught specimens make caring for these animals more difficult so we always recommend captive bred animals to help mitigate this.

[@ellisthorne1373]

do all frogs have to eat live insects? are their any that will eat dead ones or dont eat living things (im vegetarian and terrified of bugs)

[@JoshsFrogs]

Unfortunately all of the terrestrial frogs species that I know of depend on their sense of sight to identify food and hunt. Aquatic frog species (xenopus) can eat pellets.

[@Holly_seems_okay]

What was the name of the tree frog that liked to be handled? Considering getting one for a first time frog!

[@JoshsFrogs]

White's Tree Frogs and Yellow Spotted Climbing Toads are great for handling.

[@AfterAllWeAreHuman]

Listening to this to fall asleep

[@LoyalsLustre]

As for the tree frogs there are many different species, for example the short section about the whites tree frog could have been expanded slightly because the red eye is much different in care. Although they have similarities I’m my opinion, the whites tree frog only vocalizes if it is a male and very rarely if female, and they do not need to eat as often as he states, whites are ferocious eaters and will normally only eat one or twice per week with a large variety of its diet including small roaches, crickets, and even wax or super worms etc. If you want a frog as a pet do research before you get one and make sure you are confident and ready for a long term responsibility.

[@offbeat.-.3538]

[@Grace-ei9yi]

What is the best frog to handle without causing it stress

[@joshsfrogsvideos5594]

You should rinse your hands off with water to remove anything harmful that may be on them and dry them off. lightly we your hands with either distilled, RO or purified water so that the oils on your skin don't harm the frog. Alternatively you could wear a nitrile glove. Many scented soaps and lotions are harmful to amphibians and shouldn't be used before handling them.
