Charlotte I believe in the USA te company is called Josh's frogs they breed frogs if youcontact they maybe they will sell you a few should only cost ten bucks. That frog in my pics ten bucks for the tad now he's worth 90 to 125

Thanks! I will looking into it. First I have to see if we will have enough space for it though. We already have a bearded dragon in the classroom and my co-teacher trains service dogs and brings him to class, so we already have a lot of animals in class, but watching these guys change is so fascinating!

All you keep them in is a tiny deli container it's very easy.

 

[CJSTorts]

I was looking around on the site and couldn't find tadpoles for sale, I will keep looking, I'm sure I just over looked it. Thanks!

 

[tyguy35]

Well I don't think anyone actually sells them. You would have to ask him tell him it's for educTion. Maybe he can help you out.

 

[CJSTorts]

Ok perfect! Thank you!

 

[tyguy35]

Let me know how it goes. They take months to develope by the way.

 

[CJSTorts]

Yeah I figured it could be an on going project they can observe. Work it into different lessons, maybe some writing, science, math, etc.

Even once they are full grown, they don't require too much space, if they are anything like most tree frogs.

 

[tyguy35]

For one a simple 5gallon would work.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Very nice!

You can keep the same species together if they are all females. Not because males will fight But because interbreeding is very looked down upon. The frogs hve such great genetics already that people won't even look at or price a bee species made by human. Just don't interbreed basically.

Actually the females are the aggressive ones. Females will even destroy eggs laid by other females. I would never keep females together.

 

[poison]

yes female azureus and tinctorius are territorial

 

[tyguy35]

Weird I have never had an issue. I have had male problems maybe I have it backwards.

 

[poison]

males can also be territorial but its much more common in females.

 

[tyguy35]

I must have a good bunch

 

[acrantophis]

I must have a good bunch

You will find that once they start to breed, your females will bully each other. They will wrestle each other and push their opponents faces into the ground. Once you have a breeding pair you can use the female to sex any new frogs. You can keep multiple males in a large enclosure with multiple huts. Also try breeding wax worms for food. It's very easy. All you need is an incubator, honey, wax paper, wheat bran, and plastic straws. Thousands of worms produced. Major calories. Rapid growth of froglets.

I talked to them. They don't ship the tadpoles, because its to risky. They are willing to let me have some for my classroom if I can meet them at the reptile show in Daytona. The only problem is I am not sure I can make it to that show.
