Last night when we were out walking Penny, Casey noticed a frog hop in front of him! After a few more minutes on our walk, we found another one! The past week has been really hot and the frogs were in the middle of a street in a residential neighborhood, far from water. We didn’t want them to get hit by cars or dry up, so we decided to take Penny home and go search for more frogs.
After another walk around the neighborhood, we found a total of 4 frogs! We brought them home and cleaned out a cage for them, complete with pools of water, branches, leaves and rocks. They were so cute when they settled down for the night and were all sleeping on leaves and in the pools. We put a plate of meal worms in and they came right over and ate a bunch! They love flies too! We are going to release them in a pond in a few days!
Here are some pictures of them!
I believe they are Sierran Tree frogs, Pseudacris sierra. Sierran Tree Frog
