    Here in Vancouver, Wood frogs are or were supposed to be common, but I've never seen one due to our massive American Bullfrog and Green frog infestation. I've not even seen a Red legged frog either, even though I've lived in Vancouver for all of of my life. And talking about Pacific/Boreal Chorus frogs is like talking about Bigfoot. Only one person I know has seen one. It's a shame. However, I have spotted a yellow/albino Bullfrog.

    I was very lucky to find 3 adults and a juvenile wood frog this past summer/fall. I kept an adult male and the juvenile female (she is much bigger now still no calling so I believe female). I hope that they will breed. Every year I find a few people asking around for wood frogs. If mine will breed hopefully less will be taken from the wild.

    I've read that wood frogs do bad in captivity that they never become used to it and are very high stress frogs. But mine have been fine since day one. They eat like little pigs. They know when it's feeding time and will come out as soon as I open the lid to their tank. They act a lot like my toads.
