Amazon milk frogs

[John]

They are pretty easy to take care of - no more so than White's, and at least with Milk Frogs, most are captive bred (perhaps all?). They could keep you up at night though - males can call at night and I wouldn't want them in my bedroom if I were you. Milk Frogs are not small - I would go for the 45x45x60cm terrarium if I were you.

Wow.. I just looked them up. I always thought they were small frogs. Im always learning.

Amazon Milk Frogs are my favorite non-dart frogs. I think they are absolutely gorgeous. They do get large as John said.
Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I realise all frogs are different, but are they likely to be up all night, every night, or just the odd bit of noise?

I think if they are as easy as white's to keep, I would prefer the milk frogs, but the smaller enclosure and easier keeping of the horned frog (as well as them being quieter and diurnal) keeps making me reconsider.

Are they really going to keep me up all night every night?

[John]

When they're in breeding mode, the males could well call for much of the night - that would probably happen in your summer time, unless you maintain a fairly constant temperature and humidity - which I would advise.

I don't know if it would be possible but you could buy just the girls. Maybe John would know how to sex them or if that would even be a viable option.

Personally, I have gotten use to my frogs calling at night, no biggie. Michael Novy works with this species, you should ask him about them

[John]

You can't sex these frogs as juveniles, unfortunately, and the majority are sold as juveniles.

If memory serves right, horned frogs sound like a lamb getting slaughtered.. Milkys sound like someone farted (my opinion), so it all depends what you fancy I guess..lol..

EWW !! Thanks for that thought Mike. Hmm...what would you rather go to sleep to?
