    Awesome care sheet! I was wondering if this applies to the southern leopard frogs because Rana pipens is a threatened speciese in Britsh columbia

    I have a leopard frog that still has a very small portion of his tail left, but we have moved him into his new home (land/water). He seems happy, sometimes he is in on land, other times he is in the water.

    My question is, when will he start eating crickets/mealworms and what size should i start him off on? I asked petco and they said judge by the distance between eyes so i bought mini meal worms, but i am afraid he wont go after them as they dont move very fast. I dont want the little guy to starve, and am getting worried.

    I am a new frog mommy---help!!!

    You should be good for now Rebekah, Ranidae frogs will be fairly shy at first when eating, I would try crickets over mealies because they move faster. Time will tell!

    Unfortunately no, the frogs will eventually poison the newts.

    Actually vice-versa typically, both the Leopard frogs and Fire-bellied toads are large enough to eat the newts, and Leopard frogs are large enough at adult size to take a Fire-bellied toad as well. The newts would surely take a frog down with it due to its extreme toxins it has in its skin. The newt will also need large amounts of cool water, (55-68 Fahrenheit) whearas the frogs will need more land and warmer temperatures. (70-80 Fahrenheit) All in all, that type of tank is probably one of the worst mixed species tanks that anyone's done. Here's a few more articles to/for the original poster: http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/M...isasters.shtml http://www.frogforum.net/content.php...-and-relatives http://www.caudata.org/cc/species/Cy...ientalis.shtml


    EDIT: Oops, didn't realize how old that this was, sorry!
