New from NY

[emberlisa]

Hey. My name is Lisa. I'm from Queens, NY. I bought a Frog Hatchery from the Insect Lore catalog and that's what brings me here. I'm waiting for my frog embryos to come in the mail. I just thought I'd introduce myself here because everyone seems friendly and knowledgable. No one in real life seems to be interested in frogs when I talk about them, so I thought I'd try to make some new internet friends that are also interested in frogs.

Welcome to the forums. Nothing but frog lovers here so you are in the right place!

[emberlisa]

Thanks!

Welcome! What kind of frog are you getting?

[emberlisa]

Thanks. The website said I will be receiving 6-10 leopard frog embryos.

[S13]

O wow, that's a good amount! I cant stress enough though, before you even receive them and raise them, have their home ready in advance before moving them in. Congrats on your new obsession :P I'm waiting for my roommate to move out in June so I can use the spare room to keep more! lol

Haha that's a great plan! How many frogs do you have? I’m not sure how many frogs will reach adulthood, so it is hard to estimate how big my enclosure should be. I have 2 10 gallon tanks, but I’ve been reading up on Leopard frogs, and it seems I will need something larger.

I really like this person’s idea for a “quick, cheap, easy terrarium.” I want to get started right away, but it is hard to say how big of a giant tub I need.

Right now I have a White's tree frog and a RETF. I'm looking to probably build something bigger for the white's and introduce a buddy in the future. I want to get into some Grey's also, maybe look at getting a buddy for my RETF, also maybe try another pacman as my baby passed about a month ago I will be moving the turtle tank into that room also. Yeah do as much research and homework as you can! This place is filled with free knowledge. Use it!

Welcome Lisa; always good to see someone from the same area code up here.
Have you raised frogs/tadpoles before? It can be tricky at times but immensely rewarding.
Please keep us updated on your progress - we're always happy to help.

Welcome!

Looking forward to seeing threads on your tadpoles development! We love pictures here

[emberlisa]

Hi. Thanks and nice to meet you! I haven't raised tadpoles or frogs before, but I have a 2 year old green anole named snowflake. My embyros should arrive in 2-6 weeks. I'm excited to start setting up the terrarium this week. I plan on posting about everything in my blog.

[emberlisa]

Thanks. That's awesome. I'll post pictures to my blog when they arrive!

Welcome, Lisa! I'm fairly new to frogs myself, and have found the folks here to be unfailingly friendly, helpful, and informed. Good luck with your frogs!
