Answer 1

Well, I'm sorry, but without some geographic clues, no one will know for sure. If you're in the southeast U.S. though, I'd have to say (wait for it) a green tree frog.

Please, please, please, let it go outside and get a frog from a pet store if you want a frog as a pet. It could stress out and die just from being put in a cage. Also humidity and temperature are very important for frogs. I can't offer any advice on keeping it other than feed it small insects, because I don't keep amphibians, just reptiles. If you want a frog from outside, and you're in Florida, there's a lot of Cuban treefrogs around, a little more hardy, and a lot more troublesome than our little green treefrogs. (cubans are known to eat greens, so taking one or 400 from the wild isn't a problem as far as anyone's concerned considering they're an invasive exotic species) If you don't live where there are cuban treefrogs (yet) I will gladly send you as many as you want for the freedom of that single little green treefrog. (cubans also reach about 5 or 6 inches in length compared to about 3 inches tops nose to stretched out toes on a green)

Answer 2

Any frog is an insect eater. Small crickets from a local pet store is fine.

Since you mention looking on pet websites, is this something you bought? This still could be a green treefrog.

I agree with "gimme" and han though if it's something you found. Wild frogs may have parasites that they're okay with, but if you stress them by keeping them in captivity, their immune system is weakened, and there's a good chance he won't be around long. If it's cold overnight and you're worried about him, let him go when it warms up tomorrow.

Answer 3

despite that's, its a attractiveness!! attractive little ingredient! it may well be plenty nicer to place it decrease back the place you stumbled on it so as that the frog could have the standard of existence that he replaced into meant to have, and not spend the the remainder of his existence trapped in a tumbler container. while you're searching for for a puppy frog, bypass on your close by petsmart or petco. they have many categories of frogs, I even have in my view appeared at them and that i could desire to assert that they are very appealing. staggering coloring. maybe you may desire to positioned money right into a 10 gallon aquarium, each and all the needed supplies for it, and then as quickly as you bypass to petsmart and %. out the kind of frog you opt for to purchase, bypass abode and study that kind of frog. That way you grants it with the perfect care obtainable perfect from the beginning up when you consider which you may have knowledgeable your self with regard to the species.

Answer 4

I agree with gimmenamenow it is most likly a green tree frog but that description really insn't enough to be shure. And wild frogs rarely do well in captivety

Answer 5

insects are a good start.. it sounde like you ahve a very young tree frog. most likely baby crikets or some mealworms would be best.
