    Default Hi and meet my frog

    My frog got here as a tadpole with little back leg nubs. Its about 1 1/2 to 2 in at this point. Free from petsmart with a load of fish I got for some experimental gardening...
    I live in California and am wondering, what kind of frog it may be?

    as it grew legs then arms and I gave it a hyacinth to rest on, it started to try to hop and I put it in a small terrarium, about 2.5-5 gal with gravel, graded the floor and added water so part is submerged and part is not. There is also a glass tub holding h2o.
    I got crickets, small ones and fed it some once its tail was nearly gone and they dissapeared?//eaten died drowned not sure
    today about a week since the last crix i got another bag full i put 1 in and it was gone and the frog had moved, I gave it another and same thing, but I did not witness what actually happened.
    I went to give it 2 more and it started jumping all over the place maniac frog maybe it got some energy from eating the crix
    Im not sure how often to plan to feed and how much I should feed this frog at a time? I also have red wrigglers in my compost id try feeding it.
    the frog is about 1.5in long and is a tan and brown coloring it looks similar to the tadoles and frogs I caught when I was younger, pacific tree type or something...
    heres a picture of the frog if you can advise me on what kind it is and what style ecosystem it may want that would be great.
    i can tell it is still a fragile baby and not an adult froggie yet. I will move it to a larger terrarium eventually seems okay as is now, it hasn't stuck to the glass like other frogs I have it spends most time in the water or half submerged on the rocks. thanks
    oh wondering idea temps and lighting conditions direct light soft light humidity? is it okay in my bathroom?
    its got some blobby leopard sots on its legs and Egyptian eye lined eyes.

    It is a Pacific chorus frog, ( Pseudacris regilla). I would feed it a few insects every day. As for the worms just make sure they're pretty small, and can conceivably fit in the frogs stomach when all bunched up in a ball.

    As for the habitat I would do shallow water over the entirety no deeper than 3 inches at it deepest point. Smooth river rocks for land, and river sand for gravel, with emersed aquatic plants everywhere, and a few sticks to climb on. Bright lighting. Kind of warm 80's maybe.

    Hello and welcome to FF ! I can't tell from pic due to old eyes, but will go with Nirotorin assessment. Here is a good care article for them: Frog Forum - Pacific Chorus Frog .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    thanks ive been following the advice as far as feeding and made a couple of adjustments to frogs home
    seems some of the buggies dont make it to the frog before they bite the dust... maybe feeding too many or too frequently
    anyway just changed the water and gave more crix fun to watch it eat them! now to figure out how to sustain the insect colony....
