Kaloula pulchra
General Info:
Adult length up to 3".
The more plants and secluded areas within terrariums the better. Frogs have sensitive skin and generally would rather not be handled. However, due to the slow and docile nature of the chubby frog, limited handling is accepted. If handling is desired, it is important to wash hands before and after handling. Some chubby frogs will even accept "tankmates" of similar size and temperament.
Temperature/Humidity:
Ideal daytime temperature for chubby frogs should range between 75 and 85 degrees. Nighttime temperature should remain between 70 and 75 degrees. The humidity for these frogs should be kept at or near 80 percent.
Lighting:
Frogs may benefit from the use of ultraviolet lighting to maintain good health. Ultraviolet lighting is recommended for 12 hours per day. The use of a timer is recommended to maintain proper light periods.
Feeding/Watering:
Chubby frogs do well on a diet consisting of a variety of vitamin/calcium dusted insects such as small crickets, mealworms, waxworms, and small subterranean worms such as red wigglers. Fresh clean water should always be available in the form of a shallow bowl for soaking. Adult frogs should be fed 3-4 times per week. Juveniles can be fed daily.
