Leopard Frogs

I suppose 10 gallons would be large enough for one. The thing with Ranids is that they tend to be skittish and jumpy. Honestly get the largest cage you can possibly afford. If they're larger it lessens the chance that the frog(s) will injure themselves. Give approximately 2/3 water and 1/3 land with hiding places on both sides. The water should have some depth to it, at least enough to completely submerge and feel safe.

I'll add more to this. You can begin by covering the sides with black until they get more comfortable. You can put plant matter in the water section as well.

Thanks for the advice...I found out that I will be able to take the frog home this evening. Any advice on how to determine gender on the frogs if possible?

[tylototriton]

To my knowledge they aren't sexually dimorphic so I doubt there would be a way to tell them apart. Females may be slightly larger, but unless you're comparing many side by side, probably not. It may also be possible to tell after they have hibernated.

Well, if it sings its a male. As Alex said, size can also be a factor in determing sex. Males in many Anuran species will develope nuptial pads on their arms at mating time. If the frog is young, then it may be impossible to sex it at this time.
