New member question?

Don't laugh at me...at least not online! I have a good relationship with the grow-a-frog water species, which my kids introduced me to many years ago, but with whom I just took over! Mine lived over 11 years, and I loved them, especially the deep croaking during the night that just sounded so peaceful...I'm sad they died, but for their kind, I believe they lived a good life! Jan

Welcome to the forum. Are you talking about these? :

Who's laughing? I am just trying to figure out what type of frog we are talking about. Once we know that we can help you out.

[bluegypsy]

Yes, they are Leopard frogs, and they live primarily in water. I'm expecting 3 new froglets, and I want to start brand new. Thanks so much...Jan

[bluegypsy]

Pipidae frogs, I'm sorry, not leopard frogs...Jan

[Kurt]

I am assuming we are talking about Xenopus laevis, the African clawed frog as it is the most commonly seen member of the family Pipidae. The froglets will be ok in a ten-gallon, but a twenty would be better in the long run.

Thank you Kurt, that's right, and I appreciate your help. I didn't mean to imply you were laughing at me...it's just that no one understands why these frogs are important to me, and when I say 'Grow-a frog', people don't take me seriously. Thank you for caring enough to reply...Jan

You're welcome. Remember we are frog people and we will never laugh at you, unless you make a joke.
