    Hey sorry for the late reply back. I actually have 4 now lol, they are trying to escape the rising waters here and I was afraid that they would die on the hot concrete and not find a suitable place to go. They are all good, currently living on fruit flies ( lots of them) in a 10 gallon tall tank. I have a question and im wondering if you can answer it. What size tank should 4 of them be in? They are still very small but I don't want them to be stressed out by living in small conditions. At the same time, I don't want to make it too big to where they cant hunt their prey. So what would you recommend? Thanks so much friend, If you want pictures of them or anything let me know and ill totally do it!

    Could you send pictures so we can see how big these frogs are? I believe that everyone would be on the same page if they are baby frogs or if they were just young adult tree frogs. We could be a little bit more helpful to you.

    They can eat waxworms and small pinhead crickets. Get 1/2 inch banded crickets from Josh's Frogs.

    These are toadlets (they look to be American toads), not tree frogs, so you'll need to adjust your husbandry for such.

    Here's a couple of caresheets:

    Are you absolutely sure? In the area where we got them from there are a lot of gray tree frogs. I'm not saying you are wrong, but I want to be 100%. If anyone knows, please let me know!

    The photos are a bit blurry, but I've raised gray tree frogs from the tadpole stage. Yours don't seem to have toe pads which are characteristic of tree frogs. Do your frogs climb the glass walls of your enclosure? They also look to have prominent parotoid glands which is toad anatomy.

    This is what a gray tree froglet looks like.

    Hey so I thought I replied to you but I didn't. So someone said that these were American toads, and I wanted to know what you thought. Are they American toads or gray tree frogs? Thanks so much.
