    The wild is the wild and an enclosure is that; a place that even if safer, they can't get out of . In an enclosure frogs have limited diets, possibly have their natural ranging movements constricted, can't get away from other inhabitants, and have to deal with humans . Unless your enclosure is huge; can't see how you maintain different air humidity levels required for tree frogs and toads.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Also in the wild their mortality rate is high. Less than 20% make it to adulthood, that's why I get upset when people take adults from the wild. Removing healthy breeding stock is just WRONG. Ok, I"m done with my rant......................for now.
