Daily feeding should occur for
juvenile Leopard Frogs that are still growing. Full-grown
adults can be fed once every day or two.
Leopard Frogs are best fed a variety of insects. Make sure
that whatever type of insect you feed them it is not too big.
Mealworms, waxworms and crickets will suffice. |

A temperature range of 68 degrees
F to 78 degrees F is satisfactory for Leopard Frogs. You can
use an overhead or under-tank heater to obtain this temperature
range.
As with all frogs, a well-ventilated enclosure is helpful.
Leopard Frogs prefer a moderate level of humidity. |

A 10 gallon tank is sufficient
for a single Leopard Frog. Up to three of them can be housed
in the same enclosure with an increase in tank size of 5 gallons
for each additional Leopard Frog. Ensure that the lid is tight
fitting and securely fastened as Leopard Frogs are very active
and may try to escape. Your frogs enclosure should have a
clean bowl of water always available.
Damp moss and bark make some of the best substrates however
any type of mulch material should be sufficient. |
