Hello!

My kids caught some green frogs ( Reptiles and Amphibians of Ontario | A New Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas | Species | Protect | Ontario Nature ) and a salamander (Reptiles and Amphibians of Ontario | A New Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas | Species | Protect | Ontario Nature) ... and want to keep them as pets. We are in canada, ontario.

Having had my own terrarium as a kid, I dont want to tell them no but I cannot find any material on the web about keeping such wild amphibians as pets - what to feed them, any disseases to worry about ( I hard that some frogs cary salmonella) what to expect in general etc. I also know these frogs hibernate so I dont know if this plays a part in this.

I am going to the pet store to ask but I would rather get an answer from experts or enthusiasts in this field.

Many thanks!
