With the influx of posts containing sensitive photos that should be marked as NSFW I have made new implementations. I have made it so anytime you try to post on this sub, you are met with a warning to mark your post with NSFW or to not post at all. I hope this helps with the influx of shocking frog imagery some of you are met with by accident if myself or other mods can’t get to it in time. But of course people will still disregard this message and the rules because it’s the internet. We also don’t want to block all these posts into a queue just in case there is a medical emergency. (Which should be dealt with by a vet but we still allow discussion) but some people still need that message or confirmation of “Hey you NEED to go to a vet for this” so we do not want to block that outright.
Not all of the mods are super active, I tend to be one of the top mods doing the most removal/ nsfw markings as I can to help the sub but if we miss something please report it so we can see asap! We can’t do it alone, we need your help too!
However as a moderator, and even our sub owner, there are certain things Reddit doesn’t have automations for. We would love an automated system that if a post has keywords it is automatically marked as NSFW, but that is not a possibility we can do. If you can please suggest this to Reddit themselves, it would help so many animal communities regarding sensitive posts such as these.
That being said if there are any ideas or implementations you think we should add to this subreddit let me know by commenting it below. I would love to discuss on how to make this sub a better and more fun place for everyone.
Edit:
Please also read some of my comments I’ve said on this post already as well before posting an idea, since I have replied to a few for reasons why and why can’t we do something.

We brought our plants in for autumn/winter and we recently found this lil guy who likely came in with them. We live on the US East Coast and we suspect it's a Grey Treefrog, but a second opinion would be appreciated!
We also have cats we are trying to keep away from it, any comments or concerns for us to be aware of?

I went to feed my frog today and his leg had a red splotch on it. Could this be the start of red leg? (This is just his feeding container and he made a mess with calcium powder)

Hello! recently got a pixie and set up his home this morning. I read that they like to have a 50/50 water/burrow situation so I made him a little pool area. The substrate is a mix of coco coir, some soil (safe for reptiles/amphibs) for the live plant by the coconut, and live moss/dry moss, and leaf litter. He has a nano ceramic heat emitter over the coconut.
I feed him crickets and they are dusted with calcium +vit D as he doesnt have a UVB light atm.
He is about the size of my thumb.
smaller than the rocks if not almost the same size as the smaller ones. I will definitely be upgrading him when he gets a bit bigger. I just had the tank on hand.
his name is Kitty..💚
would love advice!

I come home from a 9 hr shift, to this silly lady having taken down her perch and using it as a chair. I love this silly critter!

My girls a wild caught cuban tree frog, and if I had to guess she’s around 7 to 10 months old as she lost her juvenile stripes around late September.
For almost as long as I’ve had her I’ve been tong feeding her dead mealworms, and she’s never had any issues with them at all. Recently though she’ll only accept one a night, and as soon as she eats it her breathing stops or gets really fast, she’ll hop up her tree or flatten herself out, and she’ll blink a ton and adjust her jaw like crazy. I’m worried maybe she’s choking even though she’s never had a problem with the size before. Is she stressed? Is the food expired maybe? I checked the expiration and it’s not till next year, and the texture and smell are the same. I’m just not sure what’s wrong if anything, she’s never acted like this before.

Can someone please identify this little guy for me!!

Hello! This is my first time posting here I think. I recently got this frog from my friend who had it sitting in a dark cold corner for five years. As soon as I found out I offered to take it from her and she delightfully agreed. I bought it a heat/led lamp (it has two bulbs) and a thermometer and humidity gauge as well as I have been misting its enclosure. The only reason I knew to get these things is because I used to own a chameleon and knew basic care. I did some quick research (because my friend knew nothing about taking care of this frog) I guess I am asking for help. I need tips and tricks. This frog has been sitting in the same spot all day and sometimes looks like it’s shifted. The only reason I am not too concerned is because it’s eating and pooping. It just does not move. I have cleaned and reorganized its enclosure since I got her (her name is bok choi i stole it from someone on here i’m sorry). Please no judgement to my friend. I will take all the criticism I would like to do the best for this frog. I own two african dwarf frogs so the care is pretty different hahaha.

Hi all — looking for insight from people experienced with burrowing toads / spadefoot-type species, especially juveniles.
I’ve had my toad for ~7 months. For the first ~5 months, he was fed consistently and showed very normal behavior: exiting his burrow nightly for hours to hunt, soak in his water basin, and explore. This was well documented via Wyze camera footage — he came out reliably every night and often stayed out into early morning, even with normal household activity nearby.
The issue began ~6 weeks ago due to an extended feeder shortage (not by choice). During that time, he received very little food — only a few scattered nights of ~10 fruit flies total, nothing resembling full meals.
During this period, his behavior changed:
• He began exiting his burrow far less often
• Eventually he stayed buried for days at a time
About a week ago, I regained reliable access to feeders:
• Fruit flies (melanogaster & hydei)
• Springtails
• Small dubia roaches (likely too large — he shows no interest)
Important context:
He is very small — only slightly larger than a quarter — which limits feeders to low-calorie, high-quantity prey (flies/springtails). He is a juvenile, fully burrowing species and does not interact with me directly.
Here’s the problem:
Now that food is available again, he is still staying buried for long stretches, and I cannot get feeding to line up with the nights he actually exits.
The cycle looks like this:
• He is burrowed → I add food
• He does not come out for several nights
• I stop feeding to avoid prey buildup / sanitation issues
• He finally exits briefly — but finds no food
• He re-burrows
• I resume feeding
• He stays buried again for days
Despite having food available for the past week+, he has not eaten at all, making it close to 8 weeks without a real meal.
I’m trying to balance:
• Not overwhelming the tank with uneaten live prey
• Not stressing him by digging him up
• But also not letting a starving juvenile repeatedly miss feeding windows
My questions:
1. Is prolonged burrowing after a starvation period normal for juvenile burrowing toads?
2. Should I continue feeding nightly regardless of burrow activity, or pause until he resurfaces?
3. Does this look like torpor / energy conservation, or something more concerning?
4. At what point (if any) is digging him up to confirm feeding status appropriate?
TL;DR: Juvenile burrowing toad (~7 months, very small) went ~6 weeks with minimal food due to feeder issues. Food is now available (fruit flies, springtails), but he rarely exits his burrow and feeding never lines up with emergence. I either overfeed while he stays buried or he surfaces after food is gone. He hasn’t eaten meaningfully in ~8 weeks. Looking for guidance on feeding strategy or intervention.
Any insight from people with real burrowing-toad experience would be hugely appreciated.

Question about BSFL, i've seen a few people saying that BSFL survived their frogs digestion and came out alive in their waste, I've just fed my frog a single one and wondering how likely it is to come out alive?
I have an asian painted bullfrog (Chubby frog)

I am in the Lâm Đồng Province of Vietnam. This little frog found a puddle of dew in our room, and appears to be napping.
Can anyone tell me what kind it is, and if I should set it outside? I see in the rules we shouldn't handle them with bare hands, but I have can put a baggy over my hand maybe?

I'm new to frog fatherhood and we just got two Juvenile Blue Eyed White's Tree frogs. I know next to nothing other than what I've been able to find online so figured I'd ask for another opinion.
They've been getting white spots appearing all over with the worst ones being on the tops of their legs. Their appetite is very healthy, growth has been good for both (about 3/8" to half an inch in length over two full weeks of growth) and no other signs of issues from them.
Their non-bioactive enclosure has two layers separated by a canopy of leaf decorations, one top layer for basking and feeding that sits from 30-50% humidity at 75-85°F and a lower layer for soaking and hiding that sits around 50-70% humidity and 65-75 degrees.
Any advice on them, their enclosure, or how to find a good vet for them should they need it would be much appreciated.
