Hello! I have some questions!

[Hankj]

Hi I just made an account on here because I am a new frog owner. I was wondering if I posted a picture of the frogs I have on here if you guys could tell me what species they are.

They are grey looking in good light, kind of a green in bad light. White bellies and about the size of a coin dollar. Found them on the shore line of a pond.

If you posted a picture i am sure someone can!

They sound like gray tree frogs Gray tree frog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , but with out a picture they can not be identified.

[Hankj]

Hmm possibly. But they are a little smaller and cuter than most pictures I see.. But they are probably babies haha.

But yes that's what I was thinking they are too hah.

spring peeper? I am not sure, with the pics it doesn't look like a grays.

It's kind of hard to see, but it doesn't look like grays to me. I could definitely be wrong though.

[Hankj]

You're right. They are definitely more green than gray.

[Hankj]

Hmm. They were caught in a pond on the shoreline in Ohio if that helps. If we can't get a positive ID what frog do you think they most resemble, like what frog could I pretend they are to use a good care sheet?

[1beataway]

I think there are a couple members who live in Ohio. Maybe one will have a good idea.

[Hankj]

Okay after closer examination I conclude they are brownish with small lime-green spots on their backs. lol

Northern Leopard Frog (Rana pipiens)

Definitely not leopards, they are Blanchard's cricket frog, Acris crepitans blanchardi. They are members of the treefrog family, Hylidae and only grow to 1.5 inches.

Also.. one of the frogs today is very dark looking? It wasn't like that yesterday. It almost looks like he's coated in mud, but it's just darker, can really see the spots. Is it molting?

[Paul Rust]

Feed them flightless fruit flies or pinhead crickets.

[Hankj]

Thank you very much

[Hankj]

I'm having a very hard time finding a good care sheet for cricket frogs.. is there another kind of frog with very similar needs? So I can just use that frogs care sheet for my frogs?
