Getting a frog ... Good Or Bad Idea?

Question

I am thinking of getting my daughter a frog. I am looking for any info about getting one. Just something basic as far as a tank and so forth and what kind to get and where.

Thank you!!

Answer 1

i'd get a turtle instead.

Answer 2

i know someone who has a pet frog. it uses a very basic fish tank with water only about 2 inches deep. in needs to be cleaned every few days, but they are pretty low maintenance and cheap to maintain. many frogs also have very long lifespans. they one i know of is over 10 years old.  

Answer 3

We have had our African Clawed Frog for count em 7 years.  He lives in a tank.  He doesn't need land or anything.  He eats the pellet fish food.  He is so east to  take care of and no he can't cause "warts"  I thought that was toads anyways??

Answer 4

be careful , frogs urinate and cause  warts ,  

Answer 5

bad idea  

Answer 6

i dunno most kid want a pet they can hold and u cant hold amphibians as they absorb the chemicals and salts on yours skin an this can harm them even kill them.

there are some species of from once set-up correctly and kept clean are pretty hardy but i still wouldnt say there good pets for young children  

if u really must get her one try either a dwarf clawed frog or fire belly toad (fire belly toads have quite a strong skin toxin that can sting/burn if it gets into eyes or cuts tastes awful and if a lot is ingested can cause symptoms akin to food poisoning)
