My girlfriend's son found this frog and wants to care for it.

Can anyone tell me what kind it is, what it likes to eat and what kind of habbitat it prefers?

Thanks in advance.

I can not tell you for sure,But, it appears tob a tree type frog.I would say small crickets.As far shas habitat i waould look to where it was found and the area you live in and go rom there.Some one else most likely knows a whole lot more.

Thank you for the response.

It looks like a common Spring Peeper to me (Pseudacris crucifer) to me. They used to be in the treefrog genus, Hyla but are now kind of like sub-tree frogs. They have expanded toepads like tree frogs but are not as good at climbing up trees and the like.
Take a look at my spring peeper photos and see if you think this is what it is:

also, try google image searching to get some more variety since there is so much difference from frog to frog.

The best type of habitat would be a tank with soil, some mosses, and a fern or other small plant. It should be misted regularly and keep a water dish in there too. Frogs eat anything that is squiggly and fits in their mouth. Small insects should be readily consumed. The easiest thing to do would be to pick up some small crickets at a pet store. don't get the huge ones -- I've had problems with large crickets harassing small herps

yah make sure u get the small ones as the big ones actually killed and ate my small green tree frog

That is definetely a sprinf peeper. They are found over a huge range but they use different habitats depending where they are. In new england they are often found in long grass and low shrubbery in wet areas. Where are you located?

That is a cricket frog (Acris crepitans or A. gryllus). They are semiaquatic and feed on small insects.
