Caring for a pet frog can be fun and rewarding, especially
if you understand their needs from the start. Here’s a beginner-friendly guide
to frog care:
1.
Choose the Right Species
Some frogs are better suited for beginners.
Easy-to-care-for species include:
· Pacman Frog (Argentine Horned Frog) – terrestrial, low maintenance.
· White’s Tree Frog (Dumpy Tree Frog) – hardy and friendly.
· American Green Tree Frog –
small, arboreal, good for observation.
2.
Set Up the Habitat
Tank size & type:
· 10–20 gallon tank for one frog (species-dependent).
· Tree frogs need vertical space; ground-dwellers need horizontal
space.
Substrate:
· Coconut fiber, sphagnum moss, or soil (no fertilizers).
· Avoid gravel or sand—they can cause impaction if swallowed.
Humidity & Temperature:
· Humidity: 50–80% depending on species.
· Temp: 70–80°F (21–27°C); use heat mats or lamps if needed.
· Mist the tank daily and monitor with a hygrometer and
thermometer.
Water:
· Use dechlorinated water only.
· Provide a shallow water dish (clean daily).
· For aquatic frogs, change water 1–2x per week.
Lighting:
· Low UVB lighting is beneficial for most frogs.
· Maintain a day/night cycle (12 hours light/12 dark).
3.
Feeding
· Frogs are insectivores; feed crickets, roaches, worms, or flies.
· Gut-load insects (feed them nutritious food before offering to
frogs).
· Dust insects with calcium + vitamin D3 (2–3x/week).
· Feed juveniles daily, adults every 2–3 days.
4.
Handling
· Frogs have sensitive skin—handle as little as possible.
· Always wet your hands with dechlorinated water first.
· Better to observe than to cuddle.
5.
Health and Maintenance
· Spot clean the tank daily; full clean every 2–4 weeks.
· Watch for signs of illness: lethargy, weight loss, cloudy eyes,
bloating.
· Quarantine new frogs before adding to an existing setup.
