A personal blog of just frogs. Or toads, we don't discriminate.Frog-keeping has become a very therapeutic part of my life over the past four years and I feel they're very underrated and misunderstood as pets. I get funny looks and am asked why, of all things, frogs? This blog is the answer of why, indeed, frogs. Four white's dumpy tree frogs: Icabod (m), Ruperta (f), Ricky (m), Leland (m). and Figgy (f) the horned fantasy frog. I will always answer any questions on their care, I love to help people learn about the best hobby in the world! We post 2-3 times a week, or at least we try to. Forgive us if any accidental posts get blogged here that were meant to go to the main blog. Quick link for mobile: http://thefroggiebloggie.tumblr.com/dumpyfrogcare

Researchers have discovered a new species of frog in Borneo which only grows to the size of a pea.
Finding the mini frogs, named Microhyla nepenthicola, proved to be a challenge due to their size. Adult males range in length from 10.6 to 12.8 millimeters.

“Hey, wanna see a Pixie Frog?” I ask
“Sure,” you say, holding out your hands
I plop this into your arms.
“hold him like a baby, he’s heavy” I instruct you
“what,” you mutter “the fuck.”
congratulations, you have been forcibly introduced to the African Bullfrog, also
known in pet-owner circles as the Pixie Frog.
look at his little hands!
while they are indeed adorable, the nickname actually derives from the scientific name of the species (pyxicephalus adspersus), and not any positive qualities they possess.
hoo boy they don’t have many of those, lemme tell you
found throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa, the Pixie Frog lives in wet areas where they eat pretty much anything they can fit into those ginormous mouths. (this includes fish, other frogs, bugs, snakes, lizards, other frogs, rodents, unattentive birds, other frogs, and probably you too if you hold still long enough)
youtube
this is a creature born with neither fear nor conscience
and it’s no idle threat either, because Pixie Frogs can grow to 10 inches long, which is well within ‘unreasonably huge’ for an amphibian. also, unlike most frogs, Pixie Frogs have fucking teeth
ALL THE BETTER TO EAT YOU WITH, MY DEARRRRR
in spite of all of this, Pixie Frogs remain popular pet animals, possibly because they will allow you to pick them up and carry them around like a newborn.
and we can respect that.
she has four of them and they’re named after her grandchildren
just, you know, make sure you count your fingers after you hold one.

A Crucifix Frog taps her tootsies.
These fidgety feet attract the attention of insect prey in a ruse known as pedal luring.

stopppp, Beelzebufo?? 😂
A large frog that lived 68 million years ago was capable of eating small dinosaurs and had a bite as powerful as a wolf or female tiger, researchers have found.
Scientists studying the bite force of a similar genus that lives today — the horned frog of South America — collaborated with a team of paleontologists to determine that the ancient Beelzebufo frog could have preyed on early crocodilians and small non-avian dinosaurs.
Their findings have been reported in a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Beep beep, Mozambique rain frog [Breviceps mossambictus] passing on your left. Like many rain frogs, these frogs have gradually lost the ability to hop, choosing instead to speed-walk wherever they need to go.
