Hello to one and all, advice?

[LouNixon]

First of all hello!

Now onto the main reason for this post, my boyfriend and I are planning on getting a frog or two when we move in together, and we're wondering what everyone thinks would be a good 'starter' frog(s).

I have experience of looking after them, as I studied animal management for five years, I've only really looked after Whites tree frogs

Any advice would be welcome

Hello and welcome to FF Lou ! Recommend read this: Frog Forum - Choosing a Frog. Also, in the Care Article section will find more detailed discussion of common frog pets and their keeping requirements. Good luck !

Hi and welcome.

Thank you, I had no idea there was an article on here about it already! It definitely helped us make a decision

We swayed towards the gray (grey?) tree frog

Cool, next step is to read their care sheet and build the vivarium in a proper enclosure. Once all is ready and stable; then get your frogs .

I've read a factsheet about them, but I plan to get a book or two so I can do a lot more reading about them. My boyfriend (thanks to this lovely site) is planning on building a vivarium from scratch

Welcome! A question for you- are Gray Treefrogs, Hyla versicolor or Hyla chrysoscelis (so we're sure we're talking about the same species), readily available in England?
