The right size of a frog

[Panagiotis Mat]

i have 2 green frogs 1 year old...i had them before they become adult frogs. they were tadpoles. now i wanna know what's the right size that they should have (cmeters).

Rule of thumb is 10 gallons of space per frog.

If you're using a 20-gallon long it would be something like 75cmx32cmx32cm

ohhh and what happens if it's smaller than 75cmx32cmx32cm? i should change it?

How much smaller is it? I mean, if it's just a little bit smaller I'm sure it will be fine. If it's only a 10 gallon tank you should definitely consider upgrading to something with more room for your frogs to explore.

Well maybe i should explain... I have these green frogs in my garden.At the time that i am not with them i keep them into a circle plastic bowl (i don't know it's size but imagine it to be the circle that your hands make when you hug smone :P)but when I get there i let them free at a space near to their water bowl and i'ts 1 meter long and 1 meter width with holes , sticks and a lot of inscts and worms .And i have and another problem...they don't like eating infront of me .Could you suggest me an solution for this? how can i make them eating from my hands?if it's possible..

What kind of frogs are these exactly? Can you post photos? So you keep them in a bowl, but when you're at your garden you let them run around outside? I hope this is not the case, because that is woefully inadequate.

Frogs are easily stressed out and should not be moved around like that. If you want to keep them as pets you need to set up an enclosure that they stay in 98% of the time, with everytyhing they need: plants, substrate, water dish, lights, heat if necessary for that species, etc. Otherwise you should just let them live outside. It's not humane to keep them in a plastic bowl.

Only certain frogs will take food from your hands, but they will never feed if you keep moving them all around. They need to feel comfortable with their surroundings and with you before they'll take food from your hands.
