We have a menagerie at home & quite a mixed bag of pets they are! Two of our pets are "Albino African Clawed Frogs" (Xenopus laevis). They are commonly described as "albino" but it isn't a strictly accurate description as they have golden tints & they have black nails. They are 100% aquatic frogs. They're easy to keep, fairly low maintenance pets & I'd recommend them as "starter pets" - but not neccessarily for children!! I must admit I only brought these home originally so I could take test samples from their skin!! (I needed to establish/confirm what types of bacteria they ...  Read the complete review

Frogs are amphibians, they have long back legs designed for jumping and swimming, webbed feet to help them to swim better, no tail and a mouth as wide as there bodys. Most frogs are semi aquatic meaning that they spend half there time in water and half there time on land, they are carnivores and live mainly on insects. We have two asian painted bull frogs. They burrow into there substrate which is half peat and half sand mixed together during the day and emerge at early evening where if you use a blue or red bulb in your tank you can watch them play all night. They are dark brown with a cream stripe down each side, they do not require any ...  Read the complete review

When i tell people that there are a pair of blue vietnamese tree frogs living in a tank in my front room i just get the usual raise of an eybrow followed by stunned silence. It's not that weird is it? They are cute! How anyone can say otherwise i don't know. Yes puppies and little fluffy kittens are cute but seeing one of the podgy little blue frogs launch itself at a passing cricket and inevitabley missing is hilarious. Maybe these two are just particulary stupid but i can't imagine there are that many out there that are members of MENSA. They are stupid! That's what is so cute about them. They sit around all day doing nothing, perhaps ...  Read the complete review

I'm going for an individual frog species otherwise I could be here all day. The frog species I am focusing on in this reveiw is the Whites Tree Frog. I once did a study on these during my time as a student in numerous animal management practices. I will give a rather breif reveiw considering how much there is to know, I also have health sheets of recordings I have done over time studying two whites tree frogs and information gathered which is not included. If you do want anymore information give me an email on sh02020998@hotmail.com and I'm always there! Right, lets get started! Whites tree frog Welfare It is normal to house the Whites tree frog in ...  Read the complete review

As I am writing this in a pet section, I have tried to think about the types of questions someone looking for a potential pet may ask themselves, and answer them! I kept American Green Tree Frogs for a few years until an unfortunate incident befell them, and have to stress that this isn't a pet that you can buy, put in a simple tank and feed pellets to! Nor is it a pet that you can cuddle or, well, I suppose the word is "pet"! OVERVIEW OF FROGS. There are many different species of frogs available for purchase to keep as pets. Frogs are very varied and come in a wide range of sizes, with a wide range of habitat and feeding ...  Read the complete review
