malaysian horned frog!

You're really lucky, I've yet to see those at a show.. definitely on my want list. They're not a Ceratophyrs Horned frogs, they're a whole different species (Megophyrs Nasuta) unrelated to the pacman frogs. I've read their care is a little more difficult than some frogs, but it still doesn't seem that hard. Probably no harder than your waxy monkeys. I remember seeing a guide somewhere I'll see if I can find it for you.

That's a pretty good read. I'm pretty jealous right now.

oh come on, waxys are the easiest to keep :lol:

I'm still confused care sheet says it is ok to keep a few in one tank, hm...

:lol: sorry to whoever moved the thread, you're right it belongs here, I was too excited:lol:

Lol Lija you saw it to! We are really peeving griff off now, us Calgarians. Did you see my post below? It was moved from Pacman section to other frogs and toads as well.

You can house them together because they can't bite or hurt each other like Ceratophyrs Horned frogs would.

I don't know where you came up with this but this specie has been known to have adult females attempt to eat adult male. Males are smaller and these guys have large mouths. Iv actually seen pictures of a males back legs hanging out of a females mouth. They can do just fine in groups but this is something to keep in mind. Most attempts at breeding involve people keeping males separate and introducing them just for breeding. Then removing afterwards.

these guys do have big mouths, but they are delicate as well, they can't bite like pacman or other big frogs, i highly doubt if nasutas would go for mice, they eat only what they can in one gulp, nightcrawler if they eat it, get inhaled literally without them closing their mouth fully, but just one out of mine would eat it. the person that I mentioned and who used to breed nasutas a few years ago, kept his in a big group, females and males together and now when i have them I'm convinced they love to live in groups. they behave like I've never seen frogs, except waxies, they always sit together and most of the time look same direction. if stressed out, they would sit together too, need to take pics, cos I've never seen frogs do that, they sit almost human like, on a butt with body absolutely straight, one in a front and the rest would pile up on his back, so they altogether look like one unit, may be it is their defense mechanism, very interesting frogs for sure.

I think i have 2 males and possibly one female, not sure of that, suspected males haven't call yet, and the one that i this may be a female was smaller a month ago when i got her and now outgrown the other 2, so time will tell. so now 2 are about 4" long and one is about 4,5".

Heather, here is a thing, i got a tank, and now starring at it thinking may be idea of all nice is not that good lol, I'm not a pro on building nice looking tanks, for all mine the simple the better but i will try.
