I was headed to my vehicle to grab something and on the way back inside I spotted this lovely fellow! This is a Dryophytes avivoca or the Bird-voiced Treefrog, and I thought I heard one last night, so maybe they came back tonight for a good hunting spot! I snapped some photos quickly, since they were busy catching some fast food, logged them into my Inaturalist app, and headed inside! I absolutely adore any and all wildlife i come across, but frogs are just so stinking cute 🥰🐸🥹🤎 peep 🫣 the little fly chilling on their back 🤣

My tomato frog has been buried for two weeks and isn’t eating, is this within normal range of behavior?

Post image
Upvotes

I got either an adult or near adult tomato frog in April. His normal behavior is sitting in one spot mostly visible for a few days and then slightly moving to another spot for a few days etc. it’s usually his back end that’s buried with his head and front legs being visible. He croaks quite often. Not a terribly strong feeding response. I offer crickets every few days, sometimes he’ll eat them and others he’ll ignore it. A couple times he’s made a burrow and completely buried himself for a few days.

Well, two weeks ago he completely buried himself and I haven’t seen him since. He also hasn’t eaten, but still croaks every night. I got worried that he wasn’t aware of the crickets from being buried so I dug him up and put some in a little bin with him. He ate two and refused the third. I put him back in his enclosure and he immediately buried himself again. Is this normal behavior? Being buried that long and refusing food? Is it a type of brumation/hibernation? I don’t have supplemental heat because the temps in his enclosure range from 72-76f. His humidity is between 75-80%.

White dumpy tree frog question

Post image
Upvotes

Hi! I’m new here. Just got my first non fur pet. I set up the tank a few days ago and brought this awesome guy home today. I have 2 questions. 1. At night our house gets to 73 degrees Fahrenheit. I assume I turn off the heat lamp to allow darkness and let him sleep. Is 73* too cold? Should I install the warming pad?

Question 2. If I catch an ant, spider, or fly….. can he eat them?

Green Tree Frogs (White's) sexes?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I own two adult Green Tree Frogs (White's) but I don't know their sexes.

I'm hoping some knowledgeable people could take a look at these picture profiles of them and explain what they see. The pictures also contain some stats. If any more photos are required please let me know.

I have researched this extensively but I'd love some other opinions to confirm my suspicions or educate me further.

Apologies for them looking a bit dirty: they were often in hunting mode. Adding more leaf litter soon. Also they get fresh rainwater baths every day guaranteed, and gentle spray baths if needed.

Thanks so much!

Scientists Discover a “New” Frog That Was Hiding in Plain Sight for 100 Years

For more than a century, a common frog living across the forests of western Ecuador and southern Colombia was hiding in plain sight under the wrong scientific name. Researchers at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador have now formally described Pristimantis milpe as a distinct species after revisiting specimens collected in Ecuador during the 19th century and stored at the Natural History Museum in London
