Pacific Chorus Frog

[Paul Rust]

Here is a down and dirty on vivarium construction. You can go from here and get as elaborate as you want.

In the bottom of the tank lay down 2" of LECA or aquarium gravel.

Cover the gravel with 3" of coco fibre. If you use LECA put a screen between the two.

Landscape this by making hills and valleys as you see fit.

Plant your live plants. You can use local varieties if you collect them from the woods where there are no pesticides or fertilizers. Small ferns and deer clover do very well.

Cover the whole ground layer with a thick variety of moss.

Add a bunch of long sticks that are at least as wide as the frogs so they can climb.

Lastly add a water bowl or something that holds water. This needs to be filtered or cleaned regularly.

I recently set my Pacific Chorus Frog up in a smaller bachelor pad. Attached are a couple of phots of his new setup to give you an idea. This Exo-Terra is perfect for one, but for two or three, I would definite upgrade to a 10 gallon. Yoki loves this new digs, and he has a nest near the top and a nest in the most underneath one of the wood pieces.

Amazing article and pics hunny. They look so similar to my europeans,hopefully will breed mine someday

Thanks nana, I can't believe how much alike they look. I wonder if they are related? Time for me to hit the books again.
Or......hey Kurt what do you think?

I think Hyla arborea looks more like H. andersonii, than it does like Pseudacris regilla.

Wow, Yoki really looks good Jo-Anna. I love the new setup. I hope you didn't see that part about hundreds of Chorus Frogs in my yard. Thanks for your input here.

Thanks! He seems to be doing very well. Yes, I read about the hundreds of Chorus Frogs in your yard and all I can say is "grrrrr". I have three different pet stores trying to get me another one or two. If it doesn't happen soon, I might need to take a trip to your backyard!!

I have been researching how to get some of my CB froglets to you. I might try to work with one of your pet shops and have them handle the exchange. I'll email you about it when I find out more.

Wow! That would be great. I deal with Petland, mostly; they sometimes do not have the proper names for their frogs (Yoki and Pip were sold merely as Tree frogs) but they provide the best care and have very low in-store mortality rates. Yoki would love to have another companion or two....especially if one was a girl. He has a great singing voice for wooing!
