Amphibian Care

A Pacman frog’s appetite matches its size, and they will pretty much eat anything that moves within striking distance of where they sit and wait on the ground. As with all frogs, handling should occur only when necessary.

African clawed frogs can be fun pets to watch, but are not meant for handling. These frogs are hardy, have relatively easy care instructions, and make excellent first-time pets.

White’s Tree Frogs are docile amphibians, and unafraid of humans. With time they can become relatively tame and tolerate gentle handling. These frogs make a great first amphibian pet.

Fire-Belly toads are ideal first pet amphibians. They are hardy and colorful. And, unlike most amphibians, fire-bellied toads are active during the day.

Fire-Belly newts are a popular choice for beginner amphibian keepers. They’re active, hardy, and relatively easy to care for, but not meant for handling.

Tiger salamanders, the largest land-based salamander, adapt well to captivity, makes an excellent, hardy pet, and is the most interactive species of amphibians.
