>>Thanks for the info. I've heard the coquis within 10 feet of me, I like the sound, it wouldn't bother me to have a couple of them. Any of those other 3 would be nice too, and it sounds good that you say they are hardy. I did think it would be much easier to find and buy online. It seem like I only see the same 10 species or so that are sold everywhere. None of the ones I want tho. Do you have any suggestions where I could find them?>>



The bird-voiced treefrog is quite rare in captivity, and not often seen on dealer price lists. Ditto chorus frogs and spring peepers. The small size of these species may have a lot to do with their rarity in collections. Most of the species for sale are usually 2-3 inches long or more. Of course only males call but most of the wild caught individuals sold in pet shops are males since they are most likely to hang around ponds, streams and marshes than females. Females usually do not appear until ready to breed and leave as soon as the eggs are laid, probably to avoid unwanted sexual advances and/or unnecessary exposure to predators.
