Feeding environment of horned frog

Horned frogs can be raised in any space with water. Generally, horned frogs squat in the same place all day and rarely move, so the space is small or large. As long as the water depth is no more than half of its height, it can live well. Each horned frog should be raised independently. Coconut soil can be laid directly in the feeding tank, or a wet sponge 1-2 cm thick can be used for its exhaustion, but do not choose stones with sharp hard horns to avoid scratching the horned frogs when hunting for prey.

Horned frogs do not have a high demand for temperature. any live food that can be swallowed, such as small fish, crickets, rickety meat slices, dead mice, etc., is accepted according to the order, and they cannot see the food that is still. In the native place, the main food of horned frog is the same kind of larva, so it is not suitable for mixed culture with other frogs or the same kind whose size is too different.

Horned frogs should be raised using chlorine-free water, filtered water or spring water. Tap water can be chemically boiled or kept overnight in an open container. Horned frogs do not drink water and mainly rely on their skin to absorb water, so it is necessary to provide a large basin so that frogs can easily climb in and out. The easiest way to arrange is to tilt a bare tank and store about an inch of water at the lower end, which should be changed every two days or as soon as it is dirty.

An adult horned frog can live comfortably in a plastic locker or a 10-gallon aquarium without bedding, but do not use pebbles so as not to be swallowed as food. To raise the horned frog well, remember not to be directly exposed to sunlight or other powerful ultraviolet rays. For lighting, you can use the fluorescent lamp used in the aquarium, or the general white light tube.

Horned frogs should not hold them in their hands except for physical examination and for moving animals. The skin of all amphibians is permeable and sensitive to toxins, and one day your hands may be covered with substances toxic to frogs (hairspray, pesticides, chalk ash, ink, disinfectants, soap, etc.). When scratching, grab its thighs with one hand and hold the body with the other hand under the abdomen, avoiding grasping the horned frog through the legs alone (which can cause fractures), or through the body alone (excessive squeezing can cause internal injuries).
