Pacific Chorus Frog

I'm not saying that it will work - only that I wonder about the specific mechanism that causes them to avoid inhabited waters, and if that mechanism can be short circuited.


On a separate note........

Last I heard, you were working on a way to ship egg's and larva - have you come up with a way to do so?

I appologize but i don't ship, you must be thinking of someone else.

It's great to see a care article on Pacific Chorus Frogs! I had these for years (including an old male named Igor who lived for 11+ years), and I found them to be wonderful animals! Back when I was caring for these, pesticides/herbicides were not widely used where I lived, so I mostly fed PCFs wild-caught worms/insects/spiders. Earthworms (cut to appropriate size) were the staple, even for new transformants, and then "field plankton" was used to diversify the diet. I generally don't mix species, but I had some success housing PCFs with one of the the local ambystomoids, the long-toed salamander (A. macrodactylum). The PCFs would breed fairly consistently in the presence of the salamanders, but of course, compatible sizes were important, and the salamanders needed to be well-fed or they would bite the PCFs... Anyway, great article!

Thanks for the great article, i really like the picture of the male croaking, he looks alot like the male i have right now. over the years of caring for frogs these little guys were my first, and also perhaps the most personable frogs i have ever owned, each one has a distinct personality and they grow to be quite tame if handled occasionally (very carefully, obviously) my longest lived Pacific tree frog lived to be about 7 years old... what a heartbreak when he passed, but it was one of the best pets ive ever had the opportunity to enjoy, definitely a great desk frog since they are active during the day in captivity, unlike a large number of frogs (i rarely get to see my red eyed leaf frogs active since they go to sleep the moment the lights switch on )
