    Default Re: 75 Gallon Vivarium build

    I'm sure you are all wondering what happened to the Green Frog? Why Wood Frogs when they are hard to care for? Are you planning to breed both species?
    As the baby frog matures it resembles a female more and more and I could not keep one. I thought about having 3 toads and possibly one Green or Leopard Frog and I didn't think it was fair with species balancing, so I thought of the frog who was well suited for this build because the Wood Frog is the most compatible with the American Toad as well as smaller then all other pond frogs close by, so it was very important not to over populate the woods because it would lose its natural appeal. These frogs are very communal which will mean they will be very peaceful towards the Toads. I'm switching rooms for this tank so I can keep the temp in the mid 70's to high 60's because I know they require cool temps. I'm sad by the lifespan being around 5-7 years and in captivity I hear around 2-3. This is the reason I would hibernate them to reduce stress, to increase lifespan, and with them living shorter lives breeding them to continue them is the key. While I'm breeding them I'll attempt to do the same with the Toads as well so it benefits the toads in this case. I will be breeding a few things so they will have a constant supply of food, I have a 75 Gallon so all 5 of the animals will have plenty of space with the size they are. It will be heavily planted will have a water feature and plenty of hides. I have the environment and diet down for these frogs and I'll be very careful and over cautious for these guys. This will be to my knowledge a long and thorough study on Wood Frogs with videos and success and failure so it will be very helpful. So if you read this thread you will be informed on American Toads Northern Leopard Frogs Perennials overwinter a mixed species vivarium going right and breeding insects like woodlice earthworms and crickets. Now you can see information for Wood Frogs. I'm not sure what I should feed the frogs because I read they don't do well with earthworms and waxworms but they are along with crickets the main part of my toads diet. I am concerned how to feed outside of Roaches Crickets and such, but I'll make a thread asking for help in the Frogs topic so if you know you can post here or on there when I ask. I'm expecting this to be quite the experience. The baby frog might have found a good home with an experienced friend. So it all worked out for the best! I'll show you guys when I get them Pharaoh and Ace.
