finally found a ornata what to expect?

[HappyPets]

here in canada i have never seen one for sale until now

he is the size of a penny. Should i be keeping him in a plastic critter container? or is a small 3 gallon ok?

Also mealworms and half grown crickets for now?


Is there anything temperamnt wise they differ from the reg cranwali horned? Are they more active? all my horned have been very passive eaters compared to all other frogs.

Also are most of the ones out there like albinos usually mixes? because i have seen some HUGE albino pacmans i wonder if they have ornata in them?


Last What do you prefer to keep between these 2 and why? I am so jealous of americans able to have such hard to get pets so easy lol

This should help.


"Should i be keeping him in a plastic critter container? or is a small 3 gallon ok?" Yes you should keep it in a critter container until it is a decent size.

"Also mealworms and half grown crickets for now?" Get mealworms, small ones. Same for the crickets.

"Is there anything temperamnt wise they differ from the reg cranwali horned?" There are temperament differences yes, they can and will draw blood if aggravated, but mostly in adult stage.

"Are they more active?" They are not very active they mostly just sit like a rock all day. They can be aggressive eaters but only some of them.

"Also are most of the ones out there like albinos usually mixes?" No they are mostly not mixes, just albino. You can usually get mixes from online reptile sites and expos.

"Last What do you prefer to keep between these 2 and why?" I prefer cranwali. Ornatas are aggressive and they get BIG. Their bites hurt.
