Frogs and toads have damp skin that helps them to breathe and that helps protect them from everything in their environment. They are amphibians. What does owning a frog or toad cost? The average frog or toad costs $25. This is what a frog or toad owner will spend per year on them:
No matter what the species is, frogs and toads require a dark, moist environment. Also you need to provide them with plenty of shelter and, ideally, a hill of sphagnum moss that is moistened every few days with water from a spray bottle. Choosing a frog or toad-When you choose a frog choose one with muscular legs, bright eyes, a healthy appetite, moist, evenly textured skin (free of wounds or fuzzy growths), and graceful movement. Being Responsible- When
you own a frog or a toad you should rarely hold
them, and even then you should have clean, moist
hands. Don't forget that your frog and toad both
eat live food like live insects, fish, small
lizards new born mice, smaller frogs or toads, meal
worms, and earthworms. You should be careful not to
feed your frog or toad garden bugs that have come
in contact with
pesticides. |
