Can anyone tell me what frog this is!?

[Poly]

I'd like to know, what kind of frog this is, and if it can be kept as a pet?

Here's a photo I took:

It's a little bit smaller than a penny, and I'm sure it's a tree-frog because of the pads on it's feet, that and how well it can climb/hop!

Thanks

The faint "X" on it's back makes me thing spring peeper Pseudacris crucifer. That X is where they get their species name: crucifer is very roughly translated to "bearing a cross".

Spring Peeper, Pseudacris crucifer, note the cross pattern on it's back.

You can check here for the frogs in Ontario and the range maps to narrow your searches down. We don't have that many natives and you probably have less in the north

also check here for descriptions:

edit-the second link has range maps too, I don't remember that but I might have missed it before.

My guess would be spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) because of the dark brown, cross-shaped pattern on its back.

Woohoo! Three guesses makes it right. Right?

I think it's a Spring Peeper too! Sooo, any info on keeping them as a pet, I'm checking the articles right now!

[UncleChester]

Not much info about keeping them in captivity I'm afraid. The very, very loud call of the males has made me hesitant to try (I do love Peepers though). A member here, LilyPad, has recently started keeping a bunch:

I feel like we all showed up at a party wearing the same shirt. But it was a stylish shirt.

But it was a very stylish shirt--there was some blue and some yellow and some hibiscus flowers, a parrot and a palm tree.

Okay then.... Haha, well I think I am fit for toads, not tree-frogs, so I re-released it. Couldn't think of something small enought to feed it!
