    Default Hello from Oregon

    I found the forum while looking for how to take care of the frogs I got.
    I have two Chubby Frogs, a Cuban Tree Frog, and two Firebellied Toads.
    I got them at the start of this week and am trying to get their enclosures set up properly as the guy we got them from had them all in the same tank and told us it was okay!
    I have already removed the Firebellied Toads and am working on getting the tree frog into something else (hopefully tomorrow)

    Welcome aboard and on behalf of the frogs, thank you for rescuing them from an improper housing situation.

    I've heard of people who lost their frogs by having them in the same cage as Firebellied Toads who are apparent very poisonous...

    How many aquariums do you have to work with and what sizes are they?

    Fire-bellies are indeed quite toxic.

    Do you think the frogs that were in the cage with them will be okay now that they have been moved out?

    Thank you for the welcome. Right now i have the two firebellied in a 10 gallon and moved the tree frog into a 10 gallon and the 2 chubby frogs are still in the 50 gallon they came in but it has been cleaned. I am hoping that they all are okay. But since I don't know much about frogs I'm not sure.

    The frogs you got are very simple to keep. You've got no worries.
    The tree frog needs climbing branches, fake vines,a little water dish with water that goes up half way of his body. They just go in and soak their behinds for a while.
    Chubby frog needs a waterdish a little higher then halfwayfilled.
    Fire belly like to swim. give him a wider dish but still keep it a little higher then halfway not too high.
    They all feed on crickets and earthworms. Dust the crickets with calcium w/d3. Feed the cricket gutload 30 minutes before you feed them to your froggies. Keep the heat between 75-85 during the day, 65-75 at night. It tricky getting the heat down. Dont use basking lights, they hurt the frogs eyes. For light use fluorescents, I use ceramic emmiters. Buy the clamp lamps at homedepot they're about 6bucks instead of the 12 bucks at petco.
