SamH Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I've heard heaps about the African Dwarf (Hymenochirus boettgeri) and African Clawed (Xenopus laev)frogs on American websites and I was wondering if we have them here in NZL? I remeber seeing a few at the Napier aquarium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 only 3 species of exotic frog currently available and no others would be allowed to be imported due to the chance of bringing in disease that might affect our native frogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquila Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Red-eyed tree frogs! I used to have 3 back in Canada They are really really cute but really really high maintenance! I used to fall asleep to their barking Made me sad when I had to give them back to the breeder I don't know if they are available here... Can we get these frogs? They look kinda cool.

phoenix44 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I thought they liked cold water? and they are a not a frog that can live entirely in water (notice the lack of the webbed feet). HTH sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
