HOW DO I CARE FOR A LEOPARD FROG?!?!?

Question

i got a tadpole about 2-3 week ago and i think its going to be a leopard frog. when i got it it had small little legs but now the legs are big and webbed. however, this morning, when i came to change the water there was no arm just 2 big holes in the side. now its nightime and an arm has formed! but only 1 arm. there is still a hole on the other side of the tadpole. and i think i can see the arm and the elbow. is this normal? i feed the tadpole, HBH Frog and Tadpole Bites, i feed about 4-6 pellets a day.can i still feed him this when he is a frog? what would be the right time to take him out of the water? when he becomes a frog should i get a temperature lamp? should i keep the environment moist? please help me! thanks! :)

Hey here is a care sheet for you and  your  leopard frog :

The Leopard Frog

Leopard Frogs are popular because they are fun to watch climb, swim and jump. They do however like to hid and burrow during the day and become active at night.

  

Natural Location: North America

Average Lifespan: Up to 8 years

Estimated Size: 2" to 5"

  



Feeding & Water

Daily feeding should occur for juvenile Leopard Frogs that are still growing. Full-grown adults can be fed once every day or two.

Leopard Frogs are best fed a variety of insects. Make sure that whatever type of insect you feed them it is not too big. Mealworms, waxworms and crickets will suffice.



  

Temperature, Lighting & Humidity

A temperature range of 68 degrees F to 78 degrees F is satisfactory for Leopard Frogs. You can use an overhead or under-tank heater to obtain this temperature range.

As with all frogs, a well-ventilated enclosure is helpful. Leopard Frogs prefer a moderate level of humidity.



  

Housing

A 10 gallon tank is sufficient for a single Leopard Frog. Up to three of them can be housed in the same enclosure with an increase in tank size of 5 gallons for each additional Leopard Frog. Ensure that the lid is tight fitting and securely fastened as Leopard Frogs are very active and may try to escape. Your frogs enclosure should have a clean bowl of water always available.

Damp moss and bark make some of the best substrates however any type of mulch material should be sufficient.



Hope this information is very helpfull.

Good luck with your new pet..
