Thinking of a frog.....

cornman Jan 12, 2005 09:46 PM

I have always like frogs and i am thinking of getting a tree frog, i have a few questions though:

1) i have read through this forum and it seems either a Green Tree Frog or a Grey Tree Frog is a good frog for a beginner, Which one is eaiser to care for/better for beginners?

2) Also does anyone know of any good care sheets for either of these frogs?

Thx in advance

Between those two, I lean towards the gray tree frogs. They are a little less jumpy and if you can collect them yourself, they will usually be in better health. Even better than either of those as a first tree frog would be a captive bred White's tree frog, although they grow larger than the other two and need more room.
