Small Frog Species?

[John]

Peepers are nice little frogs. They are very hardy in terms of temperature and requirements. They don't get very big. I don't know the lifespan off the top of my head but it's probably similar to other frogs - somewhere in the late single digits, possibly 10 years. They aren't against climbing too so they can be found above the tank floor too. A young frog like this will be more challenging to feed though because it will require smaller food (like tiny crickets, springtails and fruit flies).

Alright, we have a local pet store around here that sells crickets, not sure of the sizes however. Where would I find fruit flies short of catching them myself. haha And what exactly are springtails? By the way, I appreciate all this info yours giving to me

Hi Adam, you are welcome!

I've just written some similar advice regarding food (the rest is not so relevant to your little guy) here: http://www.frogforum.net/other-frogs....html#post3182

Springtails are tiny little insects. If you can get fruit flies or pinhead crickets then those are probably easier and fruit flies can be cultured easily at home (not wild ones though!).

You can also get fruit flies from Petco or from Black Jungle in Turner Falls, MA. Black Jungle is a small local business that has a better product. Also Turner Falls is on the CT River, just follow Rte 91 up from CT and you're there. The place will blow your mind!!! Or you could just mail order them.

LOL, Black Jungle pay for advertising on places like dendroboard but thanks to Kurt they get it here for free!

[Kurt]

So sorry. Ask them if they want to advertise here.

[John]

LOL. I'm kidding.

OH ok. That was so Asperger's of me LOL
