Amazon Milk Frog.

I do have plants in there for him, and, although fake, do their job. When he does move, he does hide underneath them or goes into the water dish. I do realize that an 8x8 is small, but he is also less than an inch big, and the lady I got him from said that it should be no problem keeping him there as long as I move him when he starts growing, which i fully plan on doing.

Is there anything you could tell me about these frogs concerning their behavior? Are they actually hard to take care of?

[CaptainMorgantown]

Oh, the pictures that I put on there are him in the container I bought him in, not his actual tank.

IMHO they do not move a whole lot. At night when I feed mine they do actively hunt but they do not seem to just meander around. I feed mine nightly.

Milk frogs are pretty simple to take care of. Make sure he has a clean bowl of water and it is changed often. Live plants also work a little better than the fake ones, they help with humidity. I am just not a fan of the fake plants.

Glad to see a pic of him after he made it to his new home Steel city show?

I can't wait to get some of these! BTW, I would suspect that the place that you got your info that they were "difficult" was probably referring to the fact that breeding may be considered "difficult" as they breed in hollowed out trees (which you have to simulate) From what I've read, they're not difficult to just have as a pet.

That's really good to hear that they are not hard to keep. Moot is doing very well now. He is starting to move around quite a lot during the night, and his appetite is a lot better than it was. I guess that I should have waited longer for him to settle in, but I was honestly worried about losing him. My record for keeping very young frogs is kind of against me, but I think that we will be okay now

And yes, I did get him at the Steel City Show. Were you there?

[porkchop48]

Yes I was there. I am pretty sure you got him from me.

Milkes are def cool to keep. I would suggest a well planted viv for him. My pair will be moving to a 24x18x36 wXdXh this month after the build. And hopefully getting a third. They trend to sleep near each other during the day. Pretty cool little guys I must say. Good luck!
