Why Reptile Keepers Should Keep Miniatures
i have a grey tree frog she isnt eating at all what should i do i know nothing at all about these amazing frogs but i absolutly am in love with fred the frog please help me
Will this work for the cope’s gray tree frog too?
I'm sorry about the loss of Ace, Wellsboro, and Nevi. 😢 You gave them a wonderful life and it's obvious you cared about them a great deal.
What kind of frog/ toad is it?
just recently saw my first pickerel frog that’s made its home under my ac unit in my backyard and was astonished with how beautiful they are! i live near some woods in northern mississippi so ive seen some southern leopard frogs and green & gray tree frogs but never a pickerel frog. i’ve felt so honored that it decided to make its home here and i love being able to see it every day
Recently moved to kansas from cali. I build a small backyard pond and not long these little guys showed up. I dont mind them showing up at all but dam I never knew these frogs existed, i literally thought they were some kind of giant tree frog lmao. In california we only see bullfrogs
Great podcast, Phil is so interesting.
Great video, beautiful trail. Great drone shots.
things are poisonous to kill our dogs to kill our animals
Gray tree frog's are beautiful.
I'm so sorry for your losses. I've loved all of your updates and the stories of Ace and Wellsboro, so I'm quite sad to hear about their passing. I lost my little Fowlers Toad, Coconut, in 11/2023 at the age of 5, after a very sudden infection took him from the picture of health to gone in less than 48 hours. I also just lost my little buddy, Thistle, in 7/2024, who barely made a year after battling parasites for so much of his life. I found Thistle in a park nearby to my home, and he didn't look particularly healthy at the time, but was inspired by your videos to try to help him. I spent so much time with him as he gained weight, got treatment from the vet, and battled back to somehow make it to full size. He gave me a mountain of laughs and an equal amount of heartache after he passed, but I want to say thanks for what you do and for sharing your stories, because it gave me a year with a heck of a little goober and I learned so much from caring for him. Much love and support from out here in Harrisburg!
Nice video
Sorry about the loss of both toads.
I am so sorry about your toads, you truly loved them with all your heart. They will truly be missed. 😢
I have lived across the US hearing frog calls from Washington to Florida currently I am enjoying porch frogs in the Coastal region of NC gray tree frogs are the primary with one big green tree frog and a toad. It's nice to hear conformation on the gray calls. They look so much smaller than the Pacific grays I remember, so I wasn't sure they were grays.
Very good presentations, so sorry about your toad.
Really great footage, you wonder how a little 🐸 frog could make so much noise.
Very good narration.
I love all amphibians reptiles and insects i also raise amphibans from egg to land. I collect the eggs raise them to land and release them back where i found them when they were eggs.
Pickerel frog's are beautiful. Your footage is very good.
Love your little breeding ground setup you’ve got there! I wish everyone would do this! 🐸
I have a large tank with grey treefrogs and i am thinking of putting some american toads in there also. I feed my frogs in a seperate cage and would so the same for the toads so they would not be competing for food. Do yiu think this would work out or would be 2 harmful to the treefrogs?
So nice to hear the toads, miss them when there gone.
I throughly enjoy the American Toad colony existing in my back yard. I keep no free range chickens which really prey upon toads and toad lets.
Wow! Those are a lot of eggs! Incredible.
I love local frogs and toads, too! Subscribing.
Cool 😎😢
You are truly passionate about what you do. I am so proud of you.
Awesome!❤
So glad I found this channel! My son found a toad in the back yard and is super keen on attracting more to our yard. I'm learning so much from this team! Great format podcast, informative and entertaining!
Really love the cricket sounds. I think that you did alot of upgrading. Which I feel will help your channel. 😊😊😊
1around 1:30 he says feeding is like dinners and sides, i eat fries for dinner sometimes, thats means the gray tree frog can eat mealworms only (this is a joke)
I like that you used native plants to recreate their natural environment
Caseoh
Happy late birthday to Jack!
Awesome! I have a gray treefrog living in my backyard. Hopefully he stays away from my pet box turtles because they would likely eat him. He also needs to watch out for the wild garter snakes in my backyard. I have a few pet garter snakes as well. One of the wild snakes is sort of my pet. I can pick him up and hold him for awhile but then I put him back. He lives under my backyard sidewalk. He doesn't even try to leave when I go to pick him up because he knows that I would never hurt him.
Tom Crutchfield always says conservation through commercialization. If people like a certain species of reptile or amphibian as a pet then they are gonna try to have it preserved in the wild as well so that they have wild go to animals to incorporate into their bloodlines to stop inbreeding depression. I don't believe in capturing large numbers of individuals at a time though. I have a few wild caught snakes but I never collect again until a pet passes away. Last year I collected an Eastern milksnake for the first time in 20 years because 20 years is how long my pet lived. Getting a new snake wasn't necessary until my pet died. I have 4 pet toads. I only intended to have one but someone gave me 3 that their son had for a few months but lost interest in. Last year I gave a few toads to a friend of mine because all I had at the time was a 10 gallon aquarium. That's okay for 1 toad temporarily but not for its entire life. Mine are doing wonderful now since I bought a 100 gallon Rubbermaid cattle tank and fixed it up for my toads as an outdoor enclosure. I've added a bunch of plants that are also thriving.
No me
Love these guys
I've been keeping a male grey for a year, in that time he has doubled his size.
What substrate is that?
Frog week!!!!
Awesome!❤
Very good introduction , can't wait to see what you have in store for us this year.😊😊😊
Cool shot 😊
Thanks for the review. I get tadpoles out of a local ditch on a busy road, typically late in the season where there would not be time for them to survive. I raise the tadpoles and release the frogs the next spring at the local park. I keep the baby tree frogs in a small enclosure with moss, isopods, water dish.... I buy a couple fruit fly cultures and then start making my own, it's really easy and they just keep multiplying. I mist more when they are smaller. As they grow up their environment can stay reletively dry as typically they would be in the trees more. I hand mist daily in the late evening or night which will help them become active for feeding and swap out for a clean hand mister weekly. I have gone a couple weeks without misting, it's not a problam as long as they have a place to soak. I make sure their ceramic water dish is a good size so they can completely submerge in, float in and just hang out in. I use filtered water for their water dish & misting. They love soaking in the water to hydrate and will often poop in it so I change it out almost daily. I don't use a bioactive enclosure once I get past the fruit fly feeding stage. I use driftwood for climbing and plastic plants in ceramic vases for them to hide in and a reptile mat. I keep the ground area free of debris so the crickets and cockroaches have very little hiding places. I use a heating pad under the enclosure/water dish in the winter time with a layer of aquarium stone under the reptile mat to dissipate the heat. I clean the enclosure out about once a month with Dawn dish soap and water.
I love going outside at night when it's raining and looking at all the critters in the pond, I'm so glad a lot of other people are up to the same kind of fun
Cute lil frog
Chunky frog❤😂
