FYI:
Group of frogs is an army. Group of toads is a knot. ;o) But I know what you mean.

Seriously? That's the proper term?

They raise their heads and give you that "look" and you know they are about to launch. At that poine I ever so gently push their heads down. Frog disciple has to be put into place or they will attempt to take over the household.

Yep, you can always see it on their faces when they're about ready to launch. They're funny :P

hahaha, that's awesome. I'll have to remember that one

"Another" as in a new one. I don't have room for two. My last one died of old age.

You know what, I think I remember you posting about that, my apologies for not remembering

[BeckyM]

No worries, man.

To make up for not remembering I think Cam should send the both of us some of his froglets... >w> XD

[kueluck]

lol, what have I gotten myself into?! :P Honestly, though, if I do get them to breed successfully I'd be happy to send you all some froglets for free. Just pay for the shipping (which will be expensive for 1-day shipping :P).

Blarg. If I cant get some to breed in my bucket then I'd actually be more then willing to pay for shipping. Thar be nothing so far but my bible study leader said she has millions that hide in her shutters and come out to eat around her dusk to dawn light so in another week I think I'm gona take the bucket out there and see what happens. I really do want to raise some of my own, though. >.< And I'm too afraid of doing something horribly wrong and killing my frogs if I try to simulate a cold cycle to get a captive pair to breed. @.@

Grey tree frogs are extremely hardy. They handle the cold better than almost any other frog. Their blood contains glycerol, which is a natural anti-freeze. It protects their cells from freeze damange, allowing them to brumate above the frost line in below-freezing temperatures. If you put them in the garage in some tupperware with damp substrate over winter they'll be totally fine! Just make sure you fatten them up in the fall, go off feeding for at least 2 weeks before cooling them down, and give them access to fresh water all winter long. All of my frogs brumated together in a small tupperware container with about 2" of damp peat moss and a water bowl. They just dig a little hole and sit in it for most of the winter.
