Recommended Terrarium Size & Setup: Madagascan Rain Frogs spend a lot of their time during the day partially or fully buried. Because of this, depth of substrate is more important than floor space.
Babies can be kept in small, plastic enclosures, whereas adults can be caged in enclosures of 10 to 20 gallons. Therefore they require a substrate that they can dig into. BioBedding Tropical makes a great substrate and is available at Josh's Frogs.
Temperature (°F): They do best when kept in the mid-high 70s. At Josh's Frogs, we house our Madagascan Rain Frog at 72-78 degrees. Temperatures in the high 80s can quickly be fatal, especially when coupled with a lack of water or humidity.
Humidity: Madagascan Rain Frogs require moderately high humidity, and are best kept at 50-70% humidity. Because these frogs are semi fossorial the humidity is less important than the saturation level of the substrate. With most earthy substrate, you should be able to squeeze a handful of substrate and it should stick together and have a few drops expressed.
Providing ventilation is very important - we recommend using at least a half screen top. Stagnant, humid conditions quickly leads to bacterial skin infections in Madagascan Rain Frogs.
Size: At the time of sale, captive bred Madagascan Rain Frogs from Josh’s Frogs will measure about the size of a nickel and be between 8 and 12 weeks old.
These frogs grow quickly and can reach adult size in 10-12 months. Females may be up to 1.5 inches in length, with males slightly smaller.
Age: With proper care, they can live up to and over 10 years. Reports of 10-15 year old animals abound.
All Madagascan Rain Frog froglets sold by Josh's Frogs are 8-12 weeks old.
