New To Frogs

[globug]

I'm surprised to see these tank set ups. My previous experience with reptiles was Red Eared sliders and Fire Newts. These both were almost 100% water based homes. So i thought by rescuing this frog that I'd be alright with a water based tank with a dock. However, what I'm seeing here is that the basics of tanks is 90% land with a little water. If this is what I should create than I'll do it. My one concern is how do you keep the water clean and how do you clean the tank in general. This is new to me, however caring for ALL animals correctly and learning how to do it isn't new.

kind Of frog do you have? Alot of us build our tanks species specific , or with what kind of frog we have in mind to keep.

Good question. In fact I don't know what kind of frog it is. i think it looks very similar to the basic Leopard frogs. I'm in Northern China and it's hard to believe sometimes that I feel like I'm in Canada as most creatures are the same. I'll try and post my picture here or as my profile photo. I did post it in the introductions area I believe. This isn't an easy forum to navigate.

Okay.....I can't find any specifically name 'profile' area. But what I did find didn't allow for creating a thumbnail photo or anything. So, maybe I can have someone look in which ever other area I posted a photo to find out. As i said not easy to navigate this forum.

I saw the picture. I'm not sure what it is though. Someone will know

[globug]

Oh really? Too bad. he's cute though huh? I realize how starving he was after feeding him meal worms for a few days and I couldn't see his hip bones any more. Poor baby.

I really hope someone could tell me what he is.

Thanks for your time.

My guess would be some sort of true frog. And unfortunately I'm no good in that department. If/when you figure out what it if I'd be happy to try and help you set up a fine place to live for it.

Try feeding out crickets. Their exo skeleton is a little softer and will be easier for the little guy to pass

I PM'd Kurt. Maybe he can look at the pictue and tell what it is. He's good with that sort of thing.

Well it looks to be a Bufonid. Let me research it and get back to you.

[globug]

Oh cool. That's a start I'll also google now too. Thanks

Might be Bufo raddei.

Hey, I was about to say that! I believe it to be the Mongolian toad, Pseudepidalea raddei.

I found this and it's almost exactly the same as Toadie. Now his names seems stupid as I called him Toadie the frog. Now he's gonna be Toadie the toad.

Mongolian or Siberian toad. Seeings as Harbin is in the most Northern province of China it must be this. Even his 'pose' is just like the photo/link.

That is a really cool looking toad. I hope you are very happy with him.
