    Frogs are amphibians that have delicate skin, so be careful when holding them. Always hold frogs near the ground so they don't break their bones if they jump out of your hands. Make sure all frogs have a dish of water to swim in, or their skin will dry out. If their skin dries out they will die. Their five gallon tank should include moist moss, a dish of water, a tunnel made of card board or bark ,and a top to the cage that they can't escape. Make sure every morning you spray the moss or wood chips about 4 times. To feed the frog put 2 crickets in the tank. Feed 2 crickets to each frog you have. If you want to feed it worms that's ok. Just hold the worm by one end, and wave the worm above its head until it grabs the worm in it's hands or it's mouth. It might not eat in the first couple of days, because it needs to get used to it's tank.
