Love these things! And yes thats one of our dumpies down below

[lady_bug87]

so cute! Every time I see frogs I want them more and more which is weird because I never wanted frogs before. Are they handleable?

[Shmoges]

Yes the are and my wife and I call to them all the time in other rooms and they will start croaking. When one starts its like a chain reaction and they all start making noise.

Awesome pictures!!

[lady_bug87]

I think when my GTP grows out of her 24x24x36 I want to put some kind of frog in there. How big is their enclosure and is husbandry hard to maintain?

[BarelyBreathing]

Hahaha, this is awesome!

That's pretty neat. Cool critters.

lady_bug87, We have ours in a 30 gal atm and when I am done with the viv I have been making the dumpies will go in there. They each eat about 3-6 large crickets every other day and even more if you let them. We dust one or two crickets once a week with a mix of calc and mineral powder and hand feed those to them. We spray the poop off of leaves and branches with a spray bottle and do water changes every couple weeks. once the dumpies are out we wont have to do cleaning as often. We have mini earth worms and spring tails in the substrat along with live moss to help break down the waist.

[lady_bug87]

is it more floor space or vertical space that they need because my GTP is obviously an arboreal enclosure

Oh, those pics are adorable!! They have the cutest faces:D

[marvelfreak]

They are soooooo cute.

[alessia55]

If they were quiet I'd want some :p They look awfully cute though!!

[UwabamiReptiles]

Those are cute lil guys, the croaking when you call them is pretty funny.

[Shmoges]

when they get going they are pretty loud and the combo between white lips and dumpies is quite the orchestra. Its not very often and only last for a minute or two. They start up when we get them going or music is playing.

Nice white lipped frogs mate.... I was at the Daintree NP last Nov and their chorus was deafening

[exwizard]

Very nice looking frogs. Maybe one of these days...

Sorry didn't mean to post.

[Wolfus_305]

oh my gosh! they are so adorable! Will they get much bigger?

[Shmoges]

They are already huge white lips are the largest tree frogs in the world and imo dumpies are the second. Put it this way, our largest white lip is 4 inches across from nose to butt, and more than twice that jumping. They are the coolest.

[slithermama]

i used to breed white lips and they are so friggin awesome to own.

Cute frogs!

While they may be handleable it is usually best not to. And if you do choose to, a wise precaution is to wash your hands before as well as after handling. The wash before hand is for the frogs' sake. Because amphibian can easily absorb many chemicals through their skin, there is the possibility of their absorbing harmful substances directly off your hands.

"Waist"? This some new diet plan? :p

[Wolfus_305]

wow, they sound pretty awesome!

[Shmoges]

[DragonsEye]

spelling :P I meant poop

(Sorta figured that.-- just couldn't resist pokin' fun. heh) Gotta admit, would work for a diet plan too. LOL
