Hello, I was at my uncles house about 3 weeks ago a caught a few tadpoles.. he told me that there were to many in his lake and I wasnt allowed to put them back it... So i brought them home and kept them in an aquarium outside... anywyas this is my first one who has become fully evolved... Can anyone tell me what kind of frog he might be(i live in Victoria BC Cananda) and what kind of living conditions he needs.. I have been feeding it goldfish flakes.. but i dont actually know if he is eating it.. i have lots or lizards.. this is my first frog... he doesnt seem to want to be in water any more...

It looks to me like it is a Boreal Chorus Tree frog. Boreal Chorus tree frogs are actually poor climbers however, and aren't usually found anywhere higher then a bush They are one of the smallest frogs in Canada...may even be the smallest. You can keep him in a five gallon aquarium as he won't get much bigger then he his now. I had mine on fish gravel. Provide him with a shallow water dish, with a branch leading into it, for easy entry and exit. Put branches in the tank and silk plants. MAKE SURE THE WATER IS DECHLORINATED. Mine ate ants and pinhead crickets, dusted once every four feedings with calcium powder. If you have anymore questions, just ask! Good luck.
