Depends on its species. Frogs have adapted to every habitat except the ocean and are found on every continent except Antarctica. If you are considering keeping a frog as a pet, its needs for space, lighting, temperature, water and tank decoration will depend on its species. You should do some research to work out which species you can provide for and then choose a species. Generally speaking: Desert-dwelling frog:

Relatively large tank, about half-filled with sand

One corner of the sand kept damp

Decorations like rocks and pieces of wood

Feed on ants, termites and mealworms.

Sedentary frogs, not very active and buried most of the time. Aquatic frog:

The popular African Clawed Frog is one of these.

Relatively large tank filled with water.

Small area to climb out, but this will be rare.

Decorations as per fish tank.

Can be housed with peaceful tropical fish.

Feed on water beetles etc. Arboreal (tree) frog:

Large, tall tank.

Bottom of the tank covered in leaf litter, 25% water, preferably running.

Decorations upright, ie. sticks, live plants

Feed on moths, beetles, crickets and mealworms. Ground frog:

Most variable of all.

Will need a poool of water.

Substrate varies per species, leaf litter and grass common.

Housing and hiding places depend on species.

Feeding depends on species.
