Terrestrial frogs...need horizontal tanks with bushes or logs for cover. Aquatic frogs....need water..duh.. just the basics to help them choose. They may already have an empty tank and its important they choose the right frog for their tank.
I agree with you. One of the triggers to wanting to write this article are the reactions that my thumbnail frogs and my bumblebee walking toad. I have many friends who as soon as I showed pics wanted some. And when I tell them they will have to breed fruit flies, the interest disappears.

It’s just bigger generalization that I would like to write so that people who want to get frog will have general picture of what to expect, and for the frogs too so they can have the best chance at an “optimal” life in captivity.
