dumpy frog

[KITKAT]

I have been deeply tempted by this species, but I know I don't have time for the care it needs... at least until I retire!

Can't they be sexed by the size of their thumbs, like other frogs?

Great photos, Rhea. Very nice speciman. Congrat's.

Very cool Rhea, congrats!

Nice.

I'm tempted to suggest "Jabba", but..

Looks like a very fun species to have

I read up before adopting
they're the ultimate "beginner frog"
since I already have to have feeder insects, it's not a big deal
he needs a bit of misting and fresh water
no veggies to chop . . .
and I do think Jabba was modeled on them, because they can become ridiculously obese
mine is a nicely trim specimen
I don't know about the size of the thumbs, but apparently these can't be sexed until about 6 months of age, when the males will start calling
Jeff suggested Legolas for a boy, which can be turned into Leggy Lass if it's a girl
I don't know . . .

Hi,

what a nice frog! Is this your daughter on the photo?

[drache]

yes it is
she's gartergirl on this forum
she has been very busy in the lego universe
but the frog got her attention
maybe we should name it Lego - that's pretty gender neutral

Cute frog! My daughter has been wanting a tree frog for quite a while. How hard is the care?
