We got some Dumpies!!

[Shmoges]

I was at petco to get some crickets for our white lipped tree frogs and I noticed they had a ton of dumpies for $20. They all looked healthy and measured about 2 2 1/2 inches long so I'm guessing sub adults. I asked the lady how long have you had all these dumpies and she said for awhile now. I then said since they are selling slowly I will buy 4 from you if you can mark them down to $15. I love bartering, it worked!! These frogs are so different than the white lips. They tolerate handling much more and don't shoot a super soaker stream of pee at you like the white lips. But the coolest thing is they will call if you make noise. We saw this vid on youtube and tried it and boy do they respond!!

I want a pet I can converse with! That's pretty cool.

They had some like that at a Petco near me too! These guys may have been even bigger! They were huge! Of course when I went back they were gone! They got some babies in their place . I was kicking with myself for not grabbing them when I first saw them! Nice price too!

Fire bellied toads are easier on the ears and you can get them going too.

Yeah I didn't want to deal with babies and when I saw how big these ones were and the price it was a no brainer.

[Gungirl]

Hahaha that first video is super cute but it sounded like the frog was farting not calling.

[snakehill]

Whites don't mind being handled though! They are the Bearded Dragon of the frog world!

[Shmoges]

No they don't but when they have enough they supersoaker you lol and then jump like 5 feet.

Gungirl Yeah the dumpy call is a little gruff.

[snakehill]

It's a frog thing!!! :p

Thanks a lot.... Showed my GF that video n now she wants one. Can't deal with noisy animals lol, I'm a really light sleeper :D

[snakehill]

Weird! Mine weren't very noisy! Maybe I had females and they don't call like males do! :confused:

Cute frogs I myself am contemplating getting them after realising how tough the little buggers are. I did a coast to coast road trip with the wife last Nov and we were finding them all the way into the outback (Longreach QLD)....

Wild version if you don't mind

Oh I love this pic!! Frogs are so damn cute!

Off topic tangent:
It kills me going into pet stores now days and seeing all the animals I use to catch as a child. Anoles- run rampant in Florida and I use to catch then like there is nothing to it. Green Tree frogs- same thing, I have caught more than I can remember. Green Tree snakes- same thing.

I always let them go after playing with them for a while. Now Pet stores go out and catch them to sell them. I have mixed feelings about this, on one side I think of all the money I could have made as a kid. On the other side I really wish they would leave the wild animals in the wild. *Le Sigh*

Awesome lil guys you have there. I have always loved frogs. They are just so damn cute!!
