Hello Everybody!

[emfroggy]

Hello I'm emfroggy (my real name is Emily) and I have a couple of pet amphibians. I have 2 american toads. Wild caught and 1 bullfrog ( I think that's what it is) and 1 northern green frog which I think is sick because it has red all in its mouth. like his tongue is hanging out a little bit. That's the reason I joined because I hope somebody here would know what is happening to him. I also joined to talk to people that like frogs like me! I also hope to share some photos of my frogs and get some help on how to setup a frog terrarium in a plastic container because thats all i have right now.

Hi Emily

Hopefully they're not all in the same container? I'm not sure they would get along for long if they were.

To set up a Terrarium, it depends on the frog/toad and their needs. If it's more Terrestrial, then you'll probably want more ground space, rather then Height, which would be for Tree Frogs, as they climb primarily. If they frequent water, you might want to make it half land/ half water or atleast a bowl for them to sit in and swim/soak. Although, most frogs like to sit and soak anyway.

Also some or most frogs[especially the larger species I've noticed] practice Cannabalism and would eat a smaller frog, whether it's their own species or not. So best to keep similar sized frogs together, preferably of the same species.

So as long as it's large enough for them and ofcourse can be covered with a lid[with adequate ventilation], then you should be to keep them in it. Most people say the more space the better, but as long as it's comfortable, it should be fine. Again, in regards to the Frog/Toad's habitual lifestyle[Terrestrial/Arboreal/Aquatic/etc].

I'm pretty sure that frogs don't open their mouths, other than to eat or in some cases yawn or to fight[like the Giant African Bullfrog], so it's likely that he's probably sick or maybe even injured. He could've been bitten by a small insect, as uneaten bugs tend to take a nip at frogs from time to time or sometimes while they're being eaten[like some ants do].

Pictures would help, but eitherway, Welcome none-the-less
