FROGS







Frogs

Terrain: Lots of twigs, branches, plants and places for it to hide and climb.

Water: Shallow bowl for it to bathe in or swim in. Keep the environment moist by misting (do not over water their home, this can cause mold).

** If you have a tropical frog, a heat lamp is necessary. Frogs native to North America can usually handle cooler temperatures
