The Chubby Frog, also known as the Chinese Horned Frog, is a small yet captivating amphibian that gets its name from its round, plump body and adorable, "chubby" appearance. Native to Southeast Asia, this frog is often sought after for its easygoing nature and its striking look, making it a perfect choice for amphibian enthusiasts of all experience levels. With a calm disposition and unique, horn-like projections on its eyes, the Chubby Frog is both fascinating and low-maintenance.

Features:

• Distinctive Appearance: Chubby Frogs have a round, fat body, often with a color pattern that ranges from shades of green to brown, with darker spots or markings across their skin. Their most notable feature is the small, horn-like projections above their eyes, which give them a distinctive, "grumpy" look.
• Calm and Non-Aggressive: Chubby Frogs are generally docile and tolerate handling well, though they prefer a quiet, undisturbed environment. Their peaceful nature makes them great for reptile beginners and those looking for a less-demanding amphibian companion.
• Small Size: As one of the smaller frog species, Chubby Frogs typically reach 2-3 inches in length, making them well-suited for smaller enclosures and easier to manage than larger amphibians.
• Low-Maintenance: Chubby Frogs are hardy and easy to care for, requiring minimal attention once their basic care needs are met. They make excellent pets for anyone looking for a unique but low-maintenance amphibian.

Care Information:

• Diet: Chubby Frogs are carnivores, feeding on live prey. We currently feed our Chubby Frogs crickets, which they eagerly catch and consume. As opportunistic feeders, they will also eat other small insects such as worms or flies, and can be offered variety in their diet.
• Housing: Chubby Frogs require a humid environment to thrive. A minimum 10-gallon tank is recommended, with a secure lid to keep them in. Their enclosure should include a moisture-retaining substrate like coconut husk, along with hiding spots where they can feel secure. A shallow water dish should also be provided for hydration.
• Temperature: The ideal temperature range for a Chubby Frog is 75-85°F (24-29°C) during the day, with a slight drop at night to around 70°F (21°C). A heat mat or lamp can be used to maintain the right temperature.
• Humidity: Chubby Frogs thrive in humidity levels of 60-80%. This can be achieved by misting their enclosure regularly and providing a humid hiding area. It's crucial to keep their habitat moist to prevent dehydration and to aid in proper shedding.
• Grooming: Chubby Frogs do not require grooming, but it’s important to maintain a clean environment by removing waste and providing fresh water daily.

Lifespan: With proper care, Chubby Frogs can live 5-10 years, making them a long-term companion in your amphibian collection.

The Chubby Frog is a charming and low-maintenance amphibian that will add a unique touch to your pet collection. With its calm temperament, adorable appearance, and simple care needs, it’s a great pet for both beginner and experienced amphibian keepers alike. Whether you're fascinated by frogs or simply looking for an easygoing companion, the Chubby Frog is sure to captivate you for many years.
