My favorites are the tongueless frogs - ACFs and Suriname toads. They are easy to care for, fun to watch and they are unique.

I have so far had a wild American toad who was quite humorous. He grew to be quite big. He would wait at his food bowl all hunched over ready to grab a meal. His eyes all big and staring at whatever we'd give him that day. He spent a lot of time there at his bowl and loved to eat. Then he'd dig his butt into a hole in the dirt and take a nap.
I had red belly toads who were fun to watch. They were quite hyper and bounced around the tank all day. They also spent a lot of time swimming. We had two green and two brown.
I now have a Red-Eyed Leaf Frog. She is so cute she looks nearly fake with her bright pretty colors. She is very smooth moving and more cautious. Sly. I love to watch her sneak up on the crickets. She catches them every time.
I like my Red-Eyed Leaf Frog best so far. Although you have to stay up late to watch her. She curls up like a leaf and hides on the glass behind her plants all day.
I love hearing everyones stories and favorites. Thanks!
This has really turned into a wonderful thread! Thank you everyone for posting!
Now I have to post about my spring peeper babies too. I am really enjoying them. They are just so delicate looking. Their coloring is beautiful and they have made a turn to being quite social actually, contrary to what I've read.

Well I've only owned one frog and toad before taking a break from amphibians for awhile. My first frog was a whites tree frog and the toad was a cane I believe although not very sure. Just got back into frogs, bought myself a baby/semi-adult pixie. I love this little guy, his aggressive nature during feeding, strong hind legs, profile, and just seeing him bask in his big water dish I bought him. I also love the fact of the size they get and there more mellow to hold later on. I have a fetish for large things ( excluding male body parts, just in case anyone was going to say anything haha).
Thanks! Feeding right around 9 pm is working.
Haha!
We used to have an American toad. We found him when he was about the size of a nickel. Boy, could he eat, and eat. He was about 4 inches and round within a year. Crazy! He was fun to watch. He would hover over his food bowl just waiting for food. He was clumsy. Funny clumsy.
For me it would have to be the American, then Fowler's toad. Why? Just look at them, they have the "go ahead and make my day" look, like nothing is going to phase them. They will eat anytime you put some thing in front of them and when you take them out they don't jump 100 feet in a single bound. They also seem to be more curious about things in their surrounding, or that could be they just want to see if there is some thing new to eat. But I do love my grey's also.
Lol! I agree. He was always hopping around the tank. And he'd soak until he was puffy.
I love Pyxie frogs. They look so mean! They're like the pit bulls of the frog world.
I really really love Cobalts!
They're sooo active and friendly :] I wish I still had mine....
I may get some soon
