nzbik3r Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I want to get some tadpoles so i can have some frogs. I was wondering if anyone has any tips to setting up a cage that is suetible for having some frogs in and tadpoles at same time like a half and half tank with water and land. I was also wondering what they eat? and what plants i should be put in the cage and what other stuff i should put in like branches ect. Everything you know about them would be helpful.. and if anyone has any they would like to sell in dunedin i might be keen, and if you know where i could find any that would be much appreciated thank you Some pictures of peoples tanks with tapoles and/or frogs would be helpful thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 If you mean a tank for tadpoles to turn into frogs, thats all good. Just need an easily accessible land area. Just dont get big frogs and then add tadpoles, as they morp onto land the bigger frogs may just have them for lunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzbik3r Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 what would be a good type of frog to get that isnt to big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Whistling tree frogs only get to 4/5cm, tadpoles should be around in the next month or so. The other two species of bell frog get upto 10cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzbik3r Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 i think id rather get the whistling tree frog. do you know what they eat? and how biger tank/cage enclosia for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Theyre neat frogs, dont destroy plants as much as the bigger bell frogs. So can have a nice setup. Eat most bugs, moths, flies, slaters, crickets and locusts etc. Big as you like, but 60cmx30cmx30cm is probably enough for 3/4 frogs i suppose. Exo terra make nice tanks if you have the money to splash out on one. thats a 45cmx45cmx60cm high. I have about 10-15frogs in there. Just need lots of food to keep them all happy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativelover Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 exo terra makes cool tanks whistlers prefer the higher terrariums http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/gl ... rarium.php they can be feed alot of things really small blow flies house flies worms and anything that moves and that can fit in their mouths :bounce: but they are nocturnal so they wont be as lively as the golden bells and green frogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzbik3r Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 what kind of plants in the cage ? they are real ae? and do you have to put a light or anything in it? does it need to keep moist and stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 warehouse plants, they have all sorts yep need misting once or twice a day. just a standard fish tank light seems ok, could go with a proper reptile tube with low uv output but i havent bothered.
