Frogs

Whilst they might not be the most "loving" of pets, if you are looking for a relatively low maintenance animal for educational benefit, or maybe even to form part of an ornamental display, then Frogs could well be a good choice! There are many different species of amphibian on our planet, and the amphibians are not doing well at present times in the wild, with species extinction readily happening. Most of the species in the exotic pet trade are still relatively common, but it's fantastic to think that we have such an extensive captive resevoir incase certain species did become exterpated in certain parts of the world. Amphibian populations are very ...  Read the complete review

"Knee deep... Goggle-eyed... in the mud I squat. Gaze into my silver mirror and I will teach you to scry Time Dreams Psyche and Visions, both given and sought. Feeding on each airy thought as about your head they fly... Leap and Glide! Faith and Wisdom will abide. We all begin helpless and small. Soon enough we grow, adapt, transform to handle Life's call... Awareness is the tail that grounds and ...  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 are dark brown with a cream stripe down each side, they do not require any ...  Read the complete review

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

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
