Yes they look cuban

I strongly recommend you do not release these or any out of area frogs in the wild. If animals can't handle the environment they will die . And if they become an ecological problem you could create a very expensive nightmare to your fish and wildlife department and even have local endemic species threatened . Hope the goldfish did predate them and they had no chance to become froglets and survive. Some animal sellers just want to make their $$ and will do anything to move their products, beware !

So you agree that they are Cuban? I'm not going to release them until I'm sure of their specie, but I guess they are Cuban. I'm hoping I can find them a home somewhere, will see if the museum wants them.

When I give them to my fish I gave a few at a time so make sure my fish got them before I gave more. I actually saw one got away but I'm sure my fish will get it before it turn into frog (the one got away is still small, no legs) but ill keep my eyes out for them, just in case.. (my pond is small, easy to see everything).

I catched some mosquitoes and put them in their home today, hope they get some thing to eat before the mosquitoes escape . They are tiny I don't know what else I could give them! Cricket would be the same size as the frog lol.

Baby frogs are generally fed pin head crickets or flightless fruit flies. Both can usually be found at pet shops. I know Petsmart has flightless fruit flies. However it is a starter culture and you will run out of flies quickly. You can buy larger cultures online (as well as crickets).

You can place an ad for them on here if you want to find them a new home. There may be someone local to you interested. Or you can put up signs at your local pet shops.

Thanks Ashley. I come to like my new little frog, it's very cute

Well, I say 'it' as singular because one died. Dont know why, he/she might not be able to fight with the other one for food I do not know but one week past and one was twice the size of the other. So now I have only one frog, which has quite a big appertite but he/she is still smaller than a penny!

I now confirm them as Cuban as when one died and turned to just bone, the bones are blue, which Cuban's bones are blue... dont know if any other frogs bones are blue too or not.

Do they hibernate? I'm planning on just putting it in a cool dark place during cold month (inside) and leave it be during that time. But I'm not sure if they will hibernate and I dont want to leave it to starve to death or something.

Thanks.

Yes, definitely cuban. I had one. I got some tadpoles on ebay that were supposed to be green tree frogs. They were not. One survived and I put him in his own terrarium, but I could never get him to eat. I tried every food source I could think of, but he wouldn't eat anything and eventually died.

I'm pretty upset about getting the invasive specie since I planed on having the tads in my pond and leave them wild for my area, well, I cant let mine out and still thinking if I'm going to keep him (he's pretty cute

Right now he's in a tiny tank (since he's smaller than a penny right now) and I hope they do hibernate in winter (will get him inside but have to put ihim in a place my child, the dog, and the cat cant get him.

I'm interested to see how his color will change though since right now he's pale green which I like the color.
