Mossy Tree Frog care/Info................

[John]

We appreciate the gesture but you should really ask the author if it's OK to repost his or her work on this site.

[Tom Highum]

Yes but other wise i enjoy it.

[Tom Highum]

Yes I agree but other wise i enjoy it.

what is the rule on info? I thought if it was available for free download or free to copy you can re post or distribute anywhere as long as you did not do it for profit? I have other good downloaded frog care/info sheets that might be helpful to members so let me know.

Like John said you should always get permission to repost any article or photo. First its just plain common courtesy. Second more often that not, these materials are protected by law and you can get yourself in some serious trouble if you repost someone else's material, more so if you claim it as your own.
When you do get permission, often the owner of the materials does want it made clear somewhere on the page that the material is theirs and is protected. Recently I got permission to use a photo and in the e-mail this was said to me "Also, in your article, it MUST state that all of my images are protected under copyright and are NOT public domain. Any use of them, even on the internet, must involve asking permission first."
Most authors and photographers, will usually say yes to your request to use their material, but you must ask first.

This is an interesting caresheet - thanks for posting! I hope the author won't be mad, maybe you can just edit it and give them credit somewhere? Or link to the page where you found it?

Anyway, this is interesting to me because I just got some mossies (see my other post for pics) and I have found some varying info in my research. For example, this caresheet says the tank should be 1/3 to 1/2 water, and my tank currently is only about 2-3 inches of water... Some people I've talked to only keep a big water dish in with them, so I'm curious as to which they prefer. I haven't put mine in the big tank yet, because I'm trying something that no one has mentioned before. Guppies. I have 3 females and a male, and am just starting to get some tiny, baby-frog-sized snacks in the tank! I'm going to wait until there is plenty of baby guppies, and then introduce my little guys. I'm just really afraid they'll croak, but not in the good way. Does anyone have any opinions about using the guppies as feeders? I'll still throw crickets in, of course, but thought they might enjoy the constant supply of sushi.

Also, I had never read about them curling up in a defensive ball when stressed. Like a mossy ball, huh? I don't want to stress them out to see it, but I think that's neat!
Here's a few more pics of my little guys, just for fun. Any comments/advice appreciated!
Cool action shot! Look at those sexy legs!

Mmm, cricket!

See the blue mouth?

Ready for more!

I'm not sure if they would eat guppies, it would certainly be interesting to see. Some frogs are aquatic feeders and will take food under water, other, will not.
