unsure on anything else apart from handlability, as i know no frogs should be handled, due to them being sensitive, and aborbing chemicals through their skin, tha is on our skin.

There were some at Maidstone yesterday and they are usually brought back from Hamm. These are great frogs. They are not too shy and dont hide away stuck to the glass in the top corner preferring to doze on a branch in full view. They also dont seem as strictly nocturnal as other treefrogs and can be active during the day. They have a placid demeanour until a cricket passes by and they attack thier prey in a comical flurry of arms and legs.

My four have only recently started calling and thats amusing in itself - it sounds like a barbershop quartet of the frog world.
