Frogs and ToadsFor some people, frogs and toads are associated with road closures in the spring, or croaking concerts from the neighbour's pond; for others, they are a tasty delicacy or a weather indicator. But they are also popular terrarium animals, especially the common tree frogs, and the small, tropical, arrow-poison frogs with their fascinating colours. In this book, you'll discover how amphibians evolved and learn details of their anatomy and senses, life habits and reproduction strategies. Numerous tips will help explain how you can construct a frog terrarium as appropriate for a particular species, feed your animals properly and keep them healthy, and raise the offspring, from the egg to the frog. Sixteen different frogs and toads are presented in detailed profiles, all species that are easy to keep in the terrarium.
