Madagascan Tomato Frog
The orange-red coloration and roundish shape of this cute and chubby frog give it the appropriate popular name of “tomato frog". When this frog is threatened it puffs itself up to appear even plumper. It has a narrow mouth that appears to be smiling, another trait that makes this such an endearing terrarium pet.
It lives on wet forest floor and does well in a terrestrial terrarium with at least 2 inches of coconut fiber (e.g. Eco-Earth) that is wetter at one end of the enclosure. They like to burrow in the damp dirt and ambush crickets or small roaches as they walk by and also relish nightcrawlers (cut in half for smaller frogs) or other worms. Keep 65-80ºF and prevent potentially lethal higher temperatures.

Captive Bred Only
Captive-bred animals generally are healthier and make much better pets than those collected in the wild. The species that captive-breeding efforts are dedicated to are generally better choices for captivity. Captive-bred animals maximize the opportunity for your customer's success and enjoyment of a thriving hobby. We do not keep or sell wild-caught herps and as a result our animals are not exposed to the potential illnesses and parasites of wild-collected specimens. We are captive-breeders and support captive-breeders. We ask that you do as well.
If you have any questions, you are always welcome to contact us. We'll get back to you as soon as possible, within 24 hours on weekdays.
