Hey guys. So, does anyone keep this frog??? They look really cool and I want them so bad. I have a book that mentions them in the care section. It says that thought unusual they not that hard to care for. Is this right? It alos says they don't need to be kept in that tall of a tank because they tend to live on or near the tank. If anyone has pictures of the frogs or the tanks can you please post them.
Thanks
Alex
This particular species is listed as endangered and may be difficult to obtain. I don't know of anyone breeding marsupial frogs for the pet trade. It is a very hardy frog and easy to care for in captivity, they would be a wonderful addition to any terrarium if you can find them. Good luck in your search.

Well mabye I'll see some for sale and I will get some. Hopefully.
I just saw that these were becoming available today. I guess they're planning on selling them in trios. I would love to get my hands on them (in my dream world i'm rolling in dough). I guess we'll have to wait and see how the cost, but Understory says they are easy to keep and breed.

Thanks Eric!
And done!
Although it says Nationality Canadian as I now live in Canada.....however, thats not correct, my Nationality is English just for the record!
My gf and I've got 3 of them. They're also from "Understory". We have them a few months now. The call is really beautifull. I was hoping that there are more people on this forum keeping this specie, because I really want to breed them. I'm keeping them on coco peat/lots of plants, rocks and branches/bowl of water/around 24 degrees Celsius/around 70% humidity/UVB light. I've heard people say that you must let the tank cool down during the night. Others say the temp must remain the same. Hopefully an experianced keeper can shed some extra light on this matter.
