My Frogs Habitat

[John]

I've set your country - it is required by our rules when you sign up.

Males are smaller, tend to have darker undersides and throats, even slightly bluish. There may still be traces of nuptial pads on the thumbs so see if one has thicker thumbs than the other.

Common Frogs (that is what you have) are not very aquatic and they would do better in a terrestrial setup. They tend to be pretty nervous captives though and often hurt their noses from jumping into the sides of terrariums attempting to escape or in fright. If you want to keep them in a terrarium, it needs to be pretty large, with lots of cover spots. Overall, at least in my experience, and lord knows I tried for much of my childhood, this species makes one of the worst frog pets going. If you really would like an interesting frog pet, I suggest you get a tree frog or even an African Bullfrog (not American).
