I have female African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis), also called ACF, for adoption. These are NOT SUITABLE for outdoor ponds. They are non-native, and escape artists, so they would not survive the winter outside and the risk of escape is too great. They are totally AQUATIC and need to be kept like a fish, but they CANNOT be kept with fish - they will eat or harass any fish in a tank. A single frog needs at least a 20 gallon aquarium or Rubbermaid container and a quality filter (a canister filter is best as they need more filtration than fish). Two frogs kept together would need at least a 30 gallon tank. Currently in the Baltimore area, but can be picked up in New Freedom, PA, as well.

The frogs are relatively easy to care for - feed every other day with commercial fish or turtle pellets, insects, or fish. They require partial water changes every two to four weeks, depending on your filter and tank size. They also need something to hide in, such as an artificial cave from the pet store, or a wide piece of PVC pipe. These frogs are escape artist, so a tight-fitting lid for an aquarium is a MUST.

They can live for years, and even 10-15 year old frogs are not uncommon. Visit http://aquaticfrogs.tripod.com/ to learn more about these frogs. 

 They are currently being fostered in the Baltimore/Parkton, MD, area. Not eligible for adoption in DC, Virginia, or New Jersey. NO SHIPPING. - E-mail matts_adoptioins@hotmail.com if interested in a frog.
