New Amazon Milk frogs

Jen, they're lovely frogs. Thank you for sharing the photos. These are nocturnal frogs - they don't need daytime light.

Secondly, these are not reptiles. Unfortunately people tend to (wrongly) lump amphibians into the same group as reptiles when talking about them. From a scientific point of view, they're a completely different taxonomic class, just as mammals are a completely different taxonomic class. Humans have arguably more in common with reptiles than frogs do. For example, you have a 4 chambered heart. So does a reptile. Frogs have a 3 chambered heart like fish.

They may require a few days to get used to their new home. Milk frogs can become very bold though and will usually take food from tweezers after a few weeks.

Thanks John, yeah after reading a little more I saw that they were nocturnal and didn't need the day light. I seem to like the nocturnal animals the most lol. They were very active last night which made me happy and it looks like one of them did eat a couple of the crickets. I will start feeding them with tweezers though in a few days to make sure both are getting the right amount of food.

Believe me I know they aren't reptiles and have their own separate taxonomic group as I am a Zoo student. Though I didn't know that they had a three chambered heart. I don't think our teacher ever went over that in class.

They're beautiful! Are they active? I was really surprised by how active mine were right away.

yes they are active and they are right next to my bed so I can hear them thump against the glass when they jump at it.

very cool looking frog!

I think Milk frogs are some of the most beautiful frogs available.

They are definitely gorgeous. I have been researching them since I saw pictures of them last year. Glad to finally get some

I am happy that the one I nicknamed Peek-A-Boo has eaten. He/she took a couple of pinheads last night. The other one hasn't eaten yet.
