Care for African dwarf frogs

Answer 1

The frogs need natural spring water to live. Water cooler water is NOT for frogs. It can have high levles of clorene in it. Botteled water is premitted. They need at least on snail because they are very dirty. They need a special type of gravel that helps keep the tank clean called living gravel. The frogs like rocks and plants. They love to play so you need at least a four inched tank. They eat moving things and non-living things. They stare at their food for awhile. I would sugjest dried up shrimp for their food. Usally ones that were caught in the wild eat 2 times a day. some eat two times a week. The frogs are small and never out-grow their tanks. If their is eggs layed by the females you need to separate the eggs into another tank emmedity because other frogs in the tank might think that the eggs are food and eat them. When they hatch keep them in the tank for one more day and then put them back in the tank with the other ones with a small scooping net. Be carful. They can jump out of the net and hop away. The frogs can last a couple of minutes on land or else they will die so cover the net with your hand. You will love your frogs.
