UPDATE: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mJ941ruCZNytpNY.htmlsi=etIul6Mw5F9-7X1C

Hoping that breeders establish a stable population of these fellas in captivity. They're so flipping adorable, and I would love to own a couple. But I don't want to buy wild-caught for conservation related reasons.

Now that they're in the hobby and people are having some mild success keeping them, it's only a matter of time. I'm so excited because these little dudes are such a genuinely unique species of frog and they're so adorable

I'm a game ranger here in South Africa. We have these Lil guys all around camp. Your substrate is perfect. They live in a sand forest so it's not always wet but they do enjoy the humidity. Try keep humidity above 75%. But don't be afraid to throw in some more foliage they not much for views. Also try keep everything flat 🎉

Adding springtails could be great too since the frogs are so small they could probably hunt them. Keeps the soil fresh and clean too!

​@tarantulakat these guys come from a really harsh environment so don't worry to much they not going to roll over and die at the slightest issue. As long as the humidty is fine you shouldn't have a issue, if there's low humidity for a day or 2 it's the not the end of the world. Just keep the Temps up 🙌🏻

@@tarantulakat I'd second trying to go bioactive with some springtails. That way you don't have to disturb them much. These frogs give live birth in their burrows, so if you happen to have a female and they breed, disrupting the soil is going to make birthing difficult and they may reabsorb their offspring instead. Having a clean up crew will ensure the soil doesn't foul while they're doing their thing. Also, after extensive research, as mentioned by Liam, they are an African species so they're no stranger to warmth. Maybe a back panel or overhead panel would help further replicate the conditions they're used to, but absolutely do not use a UTH. Burrowing to cooler ground is how they thermoregulate, and heating the ground would make that difficult.

I love Rain Frogs but I am afraid to buy them. I see there are a few people who are raising them. I do not care about price, I just want to find the right care for them. Made so many mistakes in the past, Thank you for raising them and hopefully you can help create the perfect care instructions.

They are so incredibly cute but I find it really problematic that they are all wild caught and specially if they are suddenly becoming a viral reptile lots of people want, that we don't even fully know how to care for them. I'm worried how it could affect the species in the wild.

Don’t buy them, at least right now. They’re all wild caught and imported to the states. Not only is it risky but it puts wild populations at risk as they’re getting increasingly popular as pets.

I adore rain frogs. But I personally can’t get behind owning them right now considering the fact they’ve not been captive bred yet and they’re being captured in massive quantities because of the trend. In Asia they’ve been around as pets for a little while but they are all still wild caught and imported. Always buy captive bred, especially for sensitive animals like amphibians.

You can't captive breed if you can't get the wild animals to start it, just like every other species. Yes they shouldn't be wiping so many from the wild, but you need to think about the big picture. They should make some rules, but you can't say always only buy captive bred.

@@jdssurf animals are usually brought into captivity via zoos collecting them from the wild and focusing captive breeding them. Many reptiles we have today were initially caught by zoos in the beginning, bred by them then later released to the public as pets. You are not helping this species by owning them as pets and not even attempting to breed them. It should be those that are attempting to breed them for captivity that should only have species that are new to the hobby otherwise the people that just get them as pets are selfishly contributing to population decreases and those caught animals needlessly dying.

Unless it’s negatively effecting the natural population and they’re being humane I’m not worried. Not every wild caught animal is a poaching horror story, some of them are just little dudes caught with the intent to start captive breeding so we don’t have to rely on wild caught. That’s how you start captive bred populations in the first place.

If you are able to keep them long term, I'd love to see some more videos about them! I love frogs so much!

A lot of the "poached" animals are extremely endangered in the wild and the ONLY reason why they're still in existence is due to private collectors, hobbyists, breeders, etc. Zoo's and other conservation programs will actually buy back some of the animals or pay you to keep these animals....

word of advice keep a dry side in the enclosure so they can self regulate and they make a super mess when feeding so i feed in another container which helps alot cuz they take big poops lol

I suggest you get an instrument to measure humidity in their enclosure. Those are very large vent holes in the top of their bin. How will you know how much of them to cover up to maintain optimal humidity? What IS the optimal humidity? They are very cute. I hope they thrive.

Thank you! They are desert rain frogs, so they actually stay underground when it’s dry and come out when it rains. As far as what humidity they need, I’m sure there is no known exact number suggested at this time however the two mistings a day + water dish should be all they need. I guess time will tell 😅

I saw in another video that it is the humidity in the substrate that matters the most.

😢 I miss living in Puerto Rico. I lived in the country, so we were basically surrounded by natures animals all around. In Puerto Rico there's a distinctive kind of frog called "Coqui" it's pronounced ko-key that lives only in Puerto Rico. People have tried taking them out of the country, and they die within days. No one has the info as like that little animal (which is amazingly adorable) leaves the country and it dies. If you ever go to Puerto Rico and it rains while your there, omg you are going to hear them all over, everywhere. And the sound they make is like their name , coqui coqui coqui. Just fyi.

They have taken over the Big Island of Hawaii too. Since they are an invasive species, it's causing issues with the native species. But I agree, since I live on a different island in Hawaii, that it is soothing short term. They can be incredibly loud in large numbers, though, so the residents there do complain since they are growing in large numbers without natural predators.

The Dance of the Potato Plum Fairies !

They’re so silly and chill 😭 Omg I love them so much

i've heard that breeding them might be difficult as you might have to simulate a dormancy period first as in the wild they breed right after the rains return following a period of dormancy.

i like how you did the cry of Hoothoot the pokemon for morph market. i know the first 493 cries off by heart.

I have fallen in love with these Lil munchkins...ooh Kat... that could be a name for one....congratulations on your new babies!🐸

I was recently in QLD Australia and it had been raining for a few days and one night I went outside and heard the most beautiful soft gentle chorus. I called my friend out and asked what was so sweetly chorusing. She said it was tree frogs. There was no croaking and they were all synchronised going up and down the scales like some sort of heavenly sound. I sat there listening for an hour it was so sweet. It was almost like purring. If I never experience that again I will consider myself blessed to have heard it just once.

I've wanted these fat little dudes for SO LONG! But nobody had any available and only a few people have had any success keeping them, but people have really been pinning down the care lately and I'm SO HAPPY! And I'm so stoked to be able to keep up with you caring for them because they're the absolute CUTEST little dudes!!!!

Adorable little dumplings! 🥰

So luv the Rain Frogs cant wait for updates on them great vid Kat .

I am SO happy you are doing a video about these! I have been looking at them for a few months now, but there is little to no info on them. Best of luck! I'll keep my eye out for an update :)

FYI I have heard (don't know if it's true but wanted to mention it to you), that that the clay they make those flower pots out of contains something toxic that can leach into the water.

I wonder if it's a regional thing where the clay is harvested 🤔 but absolutely something to look into especially since amphibians are so sensitive to any chemicals, which A+ Kat for wearing gloves!
