This is gonna be a long one, so stay with me.
I have seven frogs. One male and one female White's tree frog. One male and one female American Toad. And either three females or two females and one male Dendrobates Leucomelas.
It all starts in September of 2011, I collected a tadpole outside at my pond (didn't know any better). In July of 2012 the tadpole became a beautiful female Northern Green Frog. She was very cute but I was not experienced and knew little of their care. She was with me until June of 2013 when she drowned in her water bowl. MBD had taken its toll. That's when I learned about White's Tree Frogs. I researched and researched and researched still for weeks. On August 15, 2013 (I'm very good with dates), I brought home Angus, a male who is missing toes on his back legs, and Agnes, a female who is very skittish. I had read some threads on the forum before and a few days after getting them I joined frog forum and have been an active member (most of the time anyways) ever since. Fast foward to mid May of 2014, I netted a small sunfish in the lake. The stupid little thing had a toad in its mouth. Too big to swallow yet wasnt letting go, could have ended badly for both animals. I took the toad home and put it in a small critter keeper for a few days while I got its ten gallon tank ready. It turned out to be a female American Toad whose name is Selene. About two months later I found a small toad in my basement. I scooped it up and quarantined it for about three weeks before placing him (Helios) in with Selene. They now live in a nice big 35 gallon long tank. Fast forward again to September 20, 2014, the White Plains Reptile Expo. There I picked up three Leucomelas dart frogs. They seem to be all female but one I'm not entirely sure about.
Mistakes/learning curves:
1. I did not quarantine any frogs until I found Helios in my basement
2. Used coco fiber as substrate in tree frogs tank
3. Learned about how to maintain proper temps and humidity so make sure my frogs were healthy.
