can we a do a whites tree frog / dumpy frog please? i know a few people (me included) keep them as pets, and they're very cute and i think they're deserving of a poll :3

Of course!

So maybe this isn't your exact field since I see you curate dead things and not alive things. Regardless do you know of any common frog pets that you wouldn't condone for pets that people might not know about? For example. You can buy an iguana but an iguanas habitat size and environmental needs often lead to them being in, intentional or not, abusive households for them. I know lots of birds, snakes, and lizards that are like this but I haven't heard much about frogs. Are there any you can buy but probably shouldn't for some or several reasons? Is it ok to keep poisonous tropical rainforest frogs for example? I see some as pets and it seems iffy to me.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but basically I am of the opinion that most people who keep frogs as pets should not be doing so. They require specific environmental conditions that are not always easy to maintain without relatively major investment of both money and time. They also need almost constant access to food (especially dendrobatids), but that diet also needs to be balanced. It is common to see Ranoidea caerulea (White's tree frogs) that are extremely overweight, which is reflective of poor diets. No frogs should be regularly held, but many people take theirs own on a regular basis.

All-told, there are no frogs I know of that I would consider appropriate for beginner animal keepers. Reptiles are often much more forgiving in this regard. But it is also important to remember that no animals should be testers or trainingwheels, especially ones that are as long-lived as some of these. They are a huge commitment. I think that gets forgotten a lot of the time. Tbh, I myself have been guilty of that in the past. But we should work to do the best we can for the animals in our care. And to know our own limitations and abilities, and not acquire animals we cannot care for appropriately.

What do you love about frogs?

I love a lot of things about frogs, I can name a lot of frogs; I feel like that’s my animal/thing I hyper-fixate on since my ADHD. Anytime a frog is brought up I go nuts in a good way. They just make me so happy, before I moved houses I used to get a lot of them in my backyard but now it’s just a desolate wasteland that only has grass and mud. My favorite is the Dumpy frog or known as the Australian green tree frog, or white’s tree frog orrrrr scientifically know as Ranoidea caerulea/Litoria caerulea. Look man, they are just so cute; and if you have multiple then it starts to become very obvious that there is only braincell in the tank at once and they all share it.

Do you own any frogs?

Sadly no, I know it sucks but I know that I won’t be able to give it the best life it needs because I’m not home everyday, some days I’m barely there. Since I’m a swimmer I’ve got to be in the water 24/7 year round. I might get a couple once my life calms down a bit once I’m an adult but until then it’s just gonna be the five dogs that I have. I love my dogs but they are a handful.

Where did your love of frogs begin?

Well, like most people it starts at an early age. I believe the first frog I ever saw and held was when I was 7; during elementary school P.E class. I guess I was labeled as the frog girl from then on out; which was fine with me because I was never really a social butterfly especially when it came to school. I would try to be but never got the hang of it; however that’s a different story time. Being a seven year old girl. And liking what other girls might classify as a slimy gross creature would kinda also help me be that non-social person. I remember when it had rained pretty good the night before and into the morning; and they had let us out for recess, which was really us playing on a field because the we were in a portable since the school was overflowing. Besides the point, but I saw a bunch of kids all huddled around something so I decided to join them. Lo and behold they were all picking and poking at this massive frog, he was probably the size of one of those fancy china plates that you never use. I looked at him more and felt that he was getting overwhelmed so i picked him up bare handed and took him over to a chain link fence and pushed his fat self through. Some of the kids were mad at me for doing that.. I don’t know why..

Top 5 frogs, go.

Oh I am so glad you asked this

1) has to go to the Green Tree Frog (Ranoidea caerulea), absolute classic frog, textbook. Just a little green guy who eats bugs. Love them.

2) the Perons Tree Frog (Litoria peronii) is a wonderful little guy. They have thunder thighs (bright marbled patterning on the inside of their legs that flashes when they jump to make predators think they're poisonous) and are also called the emerald-speckled tree frog, laughing tree frog, and maniacal cackle frog for obvious reasons.

3) goes to the Pobblebonk!! (Limnodynastes dumerilii) I love these little guys!! They go bonk bonk bonk like a banjo, wonderful

4) the Whooping Frog (Heleioporus inornatus) is native to Western Australia and sounds like a little video game character doing a jump, ain't that neat?

5) the Sunset Frog (Spicospina flammocaerulea) is a rare little guy who looks like a molten rock, but they're endangered :( hope they recover soon

Thanks again :)
