hello from england

[tuppence]

hi i am tuppence, from the uk. my hubby went to our local rep shop today when he returned he informed me when we go back on sunday we will be picking up yet another addition to our ever growing animal family, he has bought a bull frog.
we spend all our spare time there, volonteering as i am disabled i find the reptile commuity very friendly, and the more time i spend there, the more i learn and the more people ask me questions in stead of talking down to me . but frogs are new to me so thats why i am here, to learn so all help will be gratefully recieved
thankyou tupp

Hello and welcome to the forum!

[Kurt]

Welcome aboard. What kind of bullfrog are we talking? African, North American, or other?

[John]

I'm going to bet on African because there's been a lot of trouble in the UK in recent years regarding escaped American Bullfrogs. Let's see if I'm right . Welcome to the forum Tuppence.

i am sorry about all the questions

[tuppence]

Pyxies do alright in temperatures from about 22 degrees C (about 70 F) to the mid 30s C (early 90s F). However if it does get down to the low 20s C at night, make sure it rises into at least the late-ish 20s during the day. I've kept them cooler than this with no ill effects (and they still ate). Regarding UV, good news - they don't need it (in fact almost no amphibians need a UV light - don't let anyone cod you into thinking otherwise).
