Sorry, I can't help you find any of these frogs, but I have a couple of warnings:

1) Coquis are LOUD. They've driven down property values in parts of Hawaii where they've become common; granted, that's whole choruses, but even one or two coquis can make quite a racket.

2) Check on the legality of keeping these species. Coquis are restricted in some places; depending on which state you live in, some of the others may be as well (especially if they're native to your state). Call your DNR and ask what the regulations are on keeping these species before you buy one.

That said, I have not kept coquis, but the other three are hardy little frogs. They can be kept at room temperature year-round, but it won't hurt to give them a cooling-off period in the winter. Keep up the humidity and give them some hiding and climbing places (a small houseplant, such as a pothos or a non-spiny bromeliad, will fill both roles nicely) and they will thrive. They will readily eat fruit flies, crickets up to 1/4" long (1/2" for the Bird-voiced), and other small arthropods. If you keep a male with one or two females, you may even get them to breed; you'll have to provide a bowl or other water area, of course.
