What sort of thing would you like to know about em? We've got 6 raised from tadpoles here. They're a heavy and sedentry (inactive) species, they can be prone to MBD as a result, we provide them with 5% UVB tubes as they are deep forest floor species and trials with 10% seemed negative. Without the provision of UVB you can expect bent deformed limbs and a sedentry animal which simply has no choice but to be totally sedentry as it's mobility is stunted - resulting in lesions and infection as the animal sits heavily on the sbstrate all day every day.

A diet of 50% worms/slugs/small snails complemented with crickets and roaches. They only need feeding twice weekly once well grown on and you won't see them poo very often!

What else do we want to now

Might also be worth mentioning that while they're nowhere near as aggressive as 'real' horned frogs they do like quite big prey and are known to be cannibalistic. If you keep more than one, try to have them not too disimilar in size!

I have a trio of these, lovely frogs, they do have a loud call though, mine like to bury in the oak leaves on the floor and they blend in so well, as said they dont move much, especially in the day, they are, however, active at night.
