| I have a Malaysian Leaf Frog, and lately he has been calling quite a bit, and I was finally able to record it.  This clip is like 20 seconds long, and there's 3 croaks in it. This was taken a room away too. I didn't want to scare him. It's so loud. The best way to describe it is like a smoke detector beeping when the battery is dying. It feels right in your ear. http://nanori.glyster.com/mena_audio.mp3   |

| You were expecting me to say steak. It seems so obvious, I know. But you just can't judge a book by its cover. Or a frog by it's leaf-like skin. |

|  It wasn't -that- silly. There's still a variety of insects frogs will eat. For example, I also have two White's treefrogs and one will eat waxworms, but when I fed the second a waxworm, he immediately grabbed it with his mouth, and then slowly opened his mouth and let it roll out. Then he opened and closed his mouth a few times and had a look of total disgust on his face. And some frogs eat mice! |

| Pixies will take adult mice and hissing roaches, oh and lizards and birds and fish too.
Kinda neat watching a 8 inch frog wrestle down a near 4 inch comet. nom nom nom. |

| Thank you.  Goldfish aren't the best to feed though. Too much chance of parasites from petstore feeder fish.  However, I think it would be fun to watch too.  And I think it would be fun to watch a frog eat a mouse. |

| You quarantine them for a while and it's not a big deal. A third of Snappy's diet is live fish, and for the last year, she's been clean. There hasn't been any worms or any other funk that's come up on a fecal.
I'm far far more lenient about what she gets to eat than most of the other animals here too, so if anyone was going to get anything it be her.
Now, I don't know if frog to snapping turtle is a fair comparison, but I would think the common parasites should take hold in both of them. |

| The only thing I know about frog to snapping turtle comparison is that turtles are a nonsense pet.  Just kidding. Quarantining them would be good. I wouldn't want to do that, personally.  |

| You could also breed guppies or even feeders for your other pets! _________________ "There he goes - one of God's own prototypes - a high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die".

| True that. Guppies are stupid easy to breed. I'd be hesitant to use cons for frogs, since they're kinda squishy and cons can definitely throw down. |

| I always have a decent size group of people who try and try and try to keep guppies and who fail each time. We test their water and everything is ok, they had set it up correctly, they clean the tank properly. There's no explanation. It's the same with plecos too. And I'll stick to the insects for my frogs.  |
