malaysian horned frog!

Very nice Lija. I take it you're happy with them? Are they very hard to care for? Have run into any problems with them as far as husbandry goes?

[Lija]

I was lucky enough to find a guy in Canada who used to breed them, he helped me a lot to set up the enclosure and gave a lot of how to tips. Out of 2 initial ones none survived, something weird was going on that can be related to stress, it also looked similar to mycobacteriosis, may be that was combination of both.

those are different frogs, one i got from the same pet store injured, he survived and got better, another 2 i just happened to come across in another store on a Christmas sale

I'd say they are really easy to take care, if they're healthy. good thing that they don't need high temps, so it is easier to maintain climate needed in comparison to other frogs.
right now they seem to be very happy, eating like pigs. really funny to watch them interact, they are communal, always together, even looking same direction most of the time. very interesting frogs in their behavior and definitely looks.

Starforce2, i suggest you check pacman frog section, you'll find a lot of info on pacs. not wanting to derail this thread i will tell you however that superworms are bad for pacmans as they posses very high risk of impaction due to high chitin content.

I wonder if their communal behavior has anything to do with the fact that they resemble leaves? Maybe its a defense mechanism.

ANy updates on how they are doing or pix in their completed setup? I'd like to see how you are housing them.

they are doing awesome, eat like pigs, 20 + crickets for all every second day. sometimes they are very funny sitting with open mouses, no idea what that means, but if i put a nightcrawler in they look very happy eating it

they are now in temporary tank, waiting for another shelving to arrive, and then i will set up their permanent home. so far their set up looks like that: layer of moss, bigger layer of eco earth, dry leaves on top, cork pieces on a ground and couple cork hides, but they all use just one and sit together, even facing one direction all the time. They also have a big shallow water bowl and artificial plants. In their permanent home I'm planning to do a waterfall, false bottom, live plants and get some springtails going. I'll take some pics once it's done

I'll be looking fwd to seeing that. You should try getting a vid of them feasting if you got anything that shoots good video.

very cool frogs, I've seen them only once, and they were fairly expensive, but they are awesome. I am looking forward to seeing your set up.
