Hi Kylie,

Frogs often stress when moving them from one environment to another. It's likely he is being cautious.

Males will call or croak to communicate with others and to call for a female mate. It is likely he was looking for a girlfriend, shall we say.

Wild caught frogs may not adjust as easily as captive bred frogs since captive bred frogs grow-up in a captive environment.

Ideas for you... Find him a girlfriend of the same species ? Or, perhaps set him free and get two of the same species? Just suggestions .

Many of us have had wild caught species throughout our frog hobbying days. I think once you're in the hobby awhile you tend to want to save and protect local species. You'll see members against wild caught species for this reason. Their thoughts are to preserve and proliferate the numbers of wild caught frogs, thereby not decreasing their numbers by taking them out of the wild.

I too once had wild caught species of frogs and toads in the past. Now I only take in wild caught if they need rescued or medical care.

We are here to help you though and to teach the best possible care of these great species . Our goal is to keep all frogs happy and healthy .

Do you have a photo of your new frog? Do you know which species he is?
