Hello everyone! I have actually figured out what type of frog I would like(it didn't take long.). I have decided on Red Eye Tree Frog. I am new to the world of frogs, I just saved one two days ago, and I am keeping him temporarily to make sure he does ok. You can definitely call me a beginner, although I have read many of the care articles. I have always has a fascination with these frogs, and having them as a pet would just be so cool. I first saw them on an Episode of "Jeff Corwin" when I was 8 or 9,and they have always been able to keep my attention. I read the care sheet posted by Kurt, so I know they are nocturnal, and a few other things. I was half asleep when reading, so I will have to go back and re-read, so pardon my mistakes if I confuse or forget a few facts.
I was wondering where I should get them. I was thinking here: Red Eye Tree Frog (Captive Bred) - Agalychnis callidryas | Josh's Frogs , since I have seen "Josh's Frogs" pop up a lot. If there are other RETF breeders on here,I would be quite interested, and would PM you (if you didn't mind, of course). My questions for where to buy them would be:
- Does he have reasonable prices for the RETF?
- Must they be shipped in pairs?
- Does he ship in same sex pairs, or with both sexes?
- How would they be alone?
I wasn't sure if there were any tricks of the trade that Kurt left out in his care sheet. I want to make sure that my froglets have the perfect habitat and life, so any tricks would be nice. If there is anything specific that I should absolutely know,please include that in your reply.
a) Are there any specific things I should NEVER do with these frogs?
b) Is there a specific trick that y'all have learned that makes the frogs life easier?
c) What is the general life span of these little guys?
What do get for my froggies... Would this be ok/perfect for a habitat? Will I have to purchase any thing else besides what comes in this package? Tree Frog Complete Kit (12x12x18) - Complete Tree Frogs Kits | Josh's Frogs
Thank you for reading this far, I really appreciate it! If you can't answer all questions, I understand, but please answer what you can.
