Chubby frogs question

[Deku]

Ehh I think Iam going to get a Greek tortoise xD and stick to my fire bellies

I don't know. The owners of chubby frog aka Malaysian bullfrogs seem to really love their frogs. There's got to be something that strike their fancy with this species.

They are very sweet and gentle. I wish I knew more people who were more like Chubbies. Mine love to crawl--very, very slowly up my arm. They make eye contact with me, too, as if to say, "Thank you for taking care of all my needs." A blast a minute--"No," but wonderful little pets. I have one that hasn't eaten since the day I got him. I have to hand feed him. Hopefully, he'll eat on his own some day.

Hmm on that note. Iam touched. Iam a gentle person. I have handled them. Theyre like me in a way but their kinda lazy. never showing up. But I might consider it instead of special ordering a toad. And just rescue all of the frogs around here. Like the ones at my store the ones at petsmart the ones at petco. Make my own little rescue ;-; Take in all them poor babies

You can't rescue all of them. I would focus on a communal species that you like. Fire Bellies are comical pets. I started out with Fire Bellies and expected all species of frogs and toads to be equally entertaining. They're not, but each species has a unique quality about them, and they are all "entertaining" in their own way.

[Kurt]

Exactly! Every species has something to make them endearing.

I have fire bellies they dont do squat. >_> I like actual toads and frogs. I did pick the chubby frog up today. It didnt mind it o.O it climbed on me. It felt like fate. Dx but it seems their amphibians are all wild caught is that bad?

[Marilyn]

If given a choice I usually go with captive bred animals only because it can make their adjustment easier. As for parasites--regardless of wild caught vs captive bred--it's a good idea to get stool specimens checked for parasites every so often. It sounds like you've already bonded with the little fella. Go for it. One thing's for sure, a Chubby isn't going to leap out of your hands leaving you to crawl around on your hands and knees searching for him all day.
