    Default Hyperolius...

    Just manged to pick up a Hyperolius species I have have been keeping an my eye out for for a while. This is a charming little species from Ghana that doesn't get much bigger than your thumbnail. Hopefully they will do well for me. Here are a couple of pic's

    Great stuff! I currently have an Arum Lilly Frog (Hyperolius horstockii) and found it a surprisingly easy species to work with. At the moment I have it in the most basic of set-ups - water bowl, paper towel and branches - and it is thriving. I started feeding it on flightless fruit flies, then moved to 1/4 crickets and now it easily takes mealworms as well.

    Your set up looks great, but try get them on to crickets as soon as possible cause it will just make your life easier.

    What an absolutely adorable little frog. Beautiful blue eyes with gorgeous red feet and cute little yellow toes. I love that frog.

    Very nice, love the colors and the eyes. My frog would be so jealous of that moth, I wish there was somewhere I could order them.

    Thanks, but I hardly ever feed crickets to anything. I hate raising crickets. I flat refuse to raise them when roaches can be cultured to fill the same feeder nitche and are no where near the pain to deal with that crickets can be. lol These guys will be getting mainly fruit flies supplemented with WC insects and small latteralis roaches from time to time.
