Keeping the same animals feels boring and less challenging. Try raising frogs! This amphibian with moist skin is suitable for those of you who are anti-mainstream.
Frogs come in many shapes and colors. Here’s a row of frogs that are the easiest to care for and suitable for beginners!
1. Australian green tree frog
Animals with the scientific name Litoria Caerulea have a silvery green color. They are about 3-4.5 inches (7.6 cm to 11.4 cm) long and can live up to 12-16 years of age.
By nature, the Australian green tree frog is docile. Because in their natural habitat, they are often found in man-made environments such as bathrooms and water tanks.
This frog is classified as low-maintenance because it has a wide choice of feed and has strong resistance to disease. However, do not overfeed because it can cause obesity.
2. Tomato frog
This frog reminds us of a ripe cherry tomato. This animal of the genus Dyscophus is found in the rainforests of northern Madagascar. They are adaptable and can adapt to different habitats.
2.5-4 inches (6.3 to 10.1 cm) long, tomato frogs can live up to 10 years. When frightened, the frog will release a gummy substance that can cause an allergic reaction in humans.
3. American green tree frog
Next up is the American green tree frog or Dryophytes cinereus. This species generally lives in ponds, rivers, and swamps. Originally from the central and southeastern United States.
They are very small, ranging from 1 to 2.5 inches (2.5 cm to 6.3 cm). So it is suitable for beginners who do not have a large tank. Life is short, only 2-6 years.
4. Burmese chubby frog
Not without reason this frog is named as the Burmese chubby frog. Because, his body is round, fat, and bulging. As reported by Exotic Pets, he comes from Southeast Asia, to be exact, Singapore and Thailand.
This 2-3 inch (5 cm to 7.6 cm) long frog loves live insects, such as crickets, grasshoppers, flies, and earthworms. Make sure the tank is moistened with soil and moss, then spray water frequently to keep it moist.
5. African Dwarf frog
Animals with the Latin name Hymenochirus curtipes come from rivers and ponds in equatorial Africa. They are only 2-3 inches (5 cm to 7.6 cm) long and have a life expectancy of 5-10 years.
These frogs can be combined with non-predatory fish in the same aquarium. They have a calm demeanor and are not territorial. To quote Fish Keeping World, these frogs like to forage at the bottom of the aquarium and only come to the surface to pick up oxygen.
6. Red-eyed tree frog
At one glance, maybe we are immediately amazed by this frog which has the scientific name Agalychnis callidryas. Very colorful and has bright red eyes. So pretty!
Despite their striking color, this frog is actually not poisonous. As reported by the Reptile Centre, the minimum tank size for this frog is 45 cm long and 60 cm high because in their natural habitat they like to climb.
7. Southern gray tree frog
And the last one is the southern gray tree frog ( Dryophytes chrysoscelis ). This frog can be found in small waters in eastern North America. Because they are nocturnal, they tend to be active at night.
As animals with big appetites, they like crickets, moths, flies, earthworms, wax worms, and small silkworms.
