Good frogs for a beginner

You are correct about the handling, they are more of a look but dont touch pet. Especially for a 3 year old who may get a bit too excited when holding it! Fire bellies are comical to watch, they do love water so if you will be getting one you will have to plan on a setup with a good filtration system. Frogs and toads arent social, so I would say they could care less about a companion. Others will disagree. I think a ten gallon tank for one or two would be ok.
