The accidental frog and the setup

[gtr319]

Hi guys~
My gf rescued a tiny frog from her work (later classified as a Pacific Chorus Grog). She took him home and gave him a new home, let me know what you guys think... any suggests are welcome~~ Boy what that guy/gal tiny??

And at this size, what kind of food is best for him/her? And how often should I feed him/her?

THANKS!!!

We have a great article on Pacific Chorus Frog care. I suggest you and your girlfriend take a look at it!

I noticed that you also keep pacman frogs. Congrats on your new addition. But he is a tree frog so at some point real soon he is going to need a vertical tank with some...Trees.. Go get some crickets. He will also eat smaller prey items than you would feed a pacman. Good luck.

@ Cheri: yes... but we will wait til that day comes first~~ hahahaha.... I will be saving for that as the vivarium is not cheap at all... and I can't find any self build kit for it...

When frogs are transfered from one place to another sometimes they can take a long time to adjust. They're curious and scared about they're new environments, especially if they're wild caught. Give him a little while to adjust and he should start eating if he's otherwise healthy.

Definitely looks like a PCF. If you are able to get a closeup, reasonably clear picture of the throat, I could give you a sex on it. Or, if you can see it yourself, a female will have a white throat; a male a dark, throat. If it is really young, it may be hard to tell until it gets bigger. Males, once they start calling, can get really loud, but it is a cool sound. I keep my PCF in a ten gallon tank complete with moss, a glass bowl, and locally found branches setup vertically and horizontally. They seem to love the setup. They do not need it overly damp, and will easily adjust to room temperature and moderate humidity. A very easy frog to care for! I included a picture of my male, Yoki (dark throat) and my female, Taiki, for you to compare your little one too! Congrats on the new addition.
