Are there any Budgett frog Books out there?

I think some horned (pac-man) frog books cover them.

Kurt is correct - several pacman books cover Budgett's frogs too because they are quite closely related.

The pet store near me had 5 books on frogs. One of them was dedicated to Pacman frogs...I spent some time going through the books and was never able to find more then a paragraph or two on Budgetts Frogs. If you are able to find a book with useful information please let me know! The only thing I learned from reading the books (that i did not read online) was that you SHOULD provide a land area with at least 6 inches coco husk. This area is for the frog to brumate/hibernate. They will dig down into the substrate and create a cocoon of protective skin around themselves. In captivity this can last 1- 3 months. In the wild its said they can stay like that for close to a year...or until the next big rainfall. If you fail to provide this area for your frog he will most likely develop a skin condition. I am no expert on Budgetts Frogs, I am just passing on the information I read. Hopefully someone who has kept Budgetts frogs for a decent amount of time can chime in and correct me if my information is wrong/outdated. (The books looked ancient!)

If you need a book on budgetts frogs, you can get one off amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Horned-Frogs-B...5539899&sr=1-1

I believe that's one of the books Julia was talking about which have limit info. I've browsed through and purchased many of these horned frog books and the info is hardly enough. The land area isn't neccesary as long as you brumate them once a year. I would however suggest at least a rock or something to get out briefly if needed.

It might have been. I just tought I would show it so maybe if she did not read it, she could.

I appreciate the link...but it is one that I have already read.

ok. I have book that has a little info on the budgetts frog, a few paragraphs and some nice pics. but the book is mainly about horned frogs.

That's about all you'll find unfortunately..
