I'm in love with them!❤❤❤
Hoping that breeders establish a stable population of these fellas in captivity. They're so flipping adorable, and I would love to own a couple. But I don't want to buy wild-caught for conservation related reasons.
Now that they're in the hobby and people are having some mild success keeping them, it's only a matter of time. I'm so excited because these little dudes are such a genuinely unique species of frog and they're so adorable
I'm a game ranger here in South Africa. We have these Lil guys all around camp. Your substrate is perfect. They live in a sand forest so it's not always wet but they do enjoy the humidity. Try keep humidity above 75%. But don't be afraid to throw in some more foliage they not much for views. Also try keep everything flat 🎉
Thank you so much this is helpful
Adding springtails could be great too since the frogs are so small they could probably hunt them. Keeps the soil fresh and clean too!
@tarantulakat these guys come from a really harsh environment so don't worry to much they not going to roll over and die at the slightest issue. As long as the humidty is fine you shouldn't have a issue, if there's low humidity for a day or 2 it's the not the end of the world. Just keep the Temps up 🙌🏻
Ayo, South Africa mention!
@@tarantulakat I'd second trying to go bioactive with some springtails. That way you don't have to disturb them much. These frogs give live birth in their burrows, so if you happen to have a female and they breed, disrupting the soil is going to make birthing difficult and they may reabsorb their offspring instead. Having a clean up crew will ensure the soil doesn't foul while they're doing their thing. Also, after extensive research, as mentioned by Liam, they are an African species so they're no stranger to warmth. Maybe a back panel or overhead panel would help further replicate the conditions they're used to, but absolutely do not use a UTH. Burrowing to cooler ground is how they thermoregulate, and heating the ground would make that difficult.
I love Rain Frogs but I am afraid to buy them. I see there are a few people who are raising them. I do not care about price, I just want to find the right care for them. Made so many mistakes in the past, Thank you for raising them and hopefully you can help create the perfect care instructions.
They are so incredibly cute but I find it really problematic that they are all wild caught and specially if they are suddenly becoming a viral reptile lots of people want, that we don't even fully know how to care for them. I'm worried how it could affect the species in the wild.
@@teijaflink2226 I agree
Don’t buy them, at least right now. They’re all wild caught and imported to the states. Not only is it risky but it puts wild populations at risk as they’re getting increasingly popular as pets.
@@teijaflink2226 glad someone else is pointing this out.
@@teijaflink2226amphibians
Their little butts when they climb into their hides...I can't!!! ❤😂❤
I adore rain frogs. But I personally can’t get behind owning them right now considering the fact they’ve not been captive bred yet and they’re being captured in massive quantities because of the trend. In Asia they’ve been around as pets for a little while but they are all still wild caught and imported.
Always buy captive bred, especially for sensitive animals like amphibians.
You can't captive breed if you can't get the wild animals to start it, just like every other species. Yes they shouldn't be wiping so many from the wild, but you need to think about the big picture. They should make some rules, but you can't say always only buy captive bred.
@@jdssurf animals are usually brought into captivity via zoos collecting them from the wild and focusing captive breeding them. Many reptiles we have today were initially caught by zoos in the beginning, bred by them then later released to the public as pets.
You are not helping this species by owning them as pets and not even attempting to breed them. It should be those that are attempting to breed them for captivity that should only have species that are new to the hobby otherwise the people that just get them as pets are selfishly contributing to population decreases and those caught animals needlessly dying.
Unless it’s negatively effecting the natural population and they’re being humane I’m not worried. Not every wild caught animal is a poaching horror story, some of them are just little dudes caught with the intent to start captive breeding so we don’t have to rely on wild caught. That’s how you start captive bred populations in the first place.
If you are able to keep them long term, I'd love to see some more videos about them! I love frogs so much!
word of advice keep a dry side in the enclosure so they can self regulate and they make a super mess when feeding so i feed in another container which helps alot cuz they take big poops lol
The Dance of the Potato Plum Fairies !
😢 I miss living in Puerto Rico. I lived in the country, so we were basically surrounded by natures animals all around. In Puerto Rico there's a distinctive kind of frog called "Coqui" it's pronounced ko-key that lives only in Puerto Rico. People have tried taking them out of the country, and they die within days. No one has the info as like that little animal (which is amazingly adorable) leaves the country and it dies. If you ever go to Puerto Rico and it rains while your there, omg you are going to hear them all over, everywhere. And the sound they make is like their name , coqui coqui coqui. Just fyi.
They have taken over the Big Island of Hawaii too. Since they are an invasive species, it's causing issues with the native species. But I agree, since I live on a different island in Hawaii, that it is soothing short term. They can be incredibly loud in large numbers, though, so the residents there do complain since they are growing in large numbers without natural predators.
@tarantulakat
Tarantula Kat check out the RUclips link I sent you. You will see our traditional frog on the 🏝️ Island calling out for the female. They are very small, and in different colors. When they're calling out their neck turns into a huge bubble. Check it out, you will like them.
I suggest you get an instrument to measure humidity in their enclosure. Those are very large vent holes in the top of their bin. How will you know how much of them to cover up to maintain optimal humidity? What IS the optimal humidity?
They are very cute. I hope they thrive.
Thank you! They are desert rain frogs, so they actually stay underground when it’s dry and come out when it rains. As far as what humidity they need, I’m sure there is no known exact number suggested at this time however the two mistings a day + water dish should be all they need. I guess time will tell 😅
I saw in another video that it is the humidity in the substrate that matters the most.
Omggggg I love rain frogs!!! They are adorable!!! Can’t wait to learn about them through you ❤
ME TOO! thank you so much, I hope they do well and I can help others as they become more available hopefully soon!
@tarantulakat what did I win?
They’re so silly and chill 😭 Omg I love them so much
I've wanted these fat little dudes for SO LONG! But nobody had any available and only a few people have had any success keeping them, but people have really been pinning down the care lately and I'm SO HAPPY! And I'm so stoked to be able to keep up with you caring for them because they're the absolute CUTEST little dudes!!!!
i've heard that breeding them might be difficult as you might have to simulate a dormancy period first as in the wild they breed right after the rains return following a period of dormancy.
People seem to forget that every animal we can now have as pets weren’t always domesticated like horses (cats domesticated themselves tbf) 😭 and you are giving your animals including the frogs a good life! You spend a-lot of effort on keeping them happy. People gonna hate on anything
“Newer and rare to the hobby” POACHED
...more like saved. A lot of the "poached" animals are extremely endangered in the wild and the ONLY reason why they're still in existence is due to private collectors, hobbyists, breeders, etc. Zoo's and other conservation programs will actually buy back some of the animals or pay you to keep these animals....
@@midnull6009 yet rain frogs are listed as LC, so there is actually a massive abundance of them in the wild
@@SilverSeleucidthere sure is, which actually makes me more comfortable with the fact there are some being collected for the pet trade to get them established long before they become endangered.
@@tarantulakat ain't it sad we gotta talk about animals in terms of *WHEN they'll become endangered... Instead of if...
@@SilverSeleucideverything eventually will become extinct so it’s always a matter of when
Stout chubby froggo is hilarious. Also frog butt
i like how you did the cry of Hoothoot the pokemon for morph market. i know the first 493 cries off by heart.
I have fallen in love with these Lil munchkins...ooh Kat... that could be a name for one....congratulations on your new babies!🐸
Live in South Africa and we get them here in our yards i saw couple few months back and wondered whatvthe heck they are now i know 😂😂😂❤
I was recently in QLD Australia and it had been raining for a few days and one night I went outside and heard the most beautiful soft gentle chorus. I called my friend out and asked what was so sweetly chorusing. She said it was tree frogs. There was no croaking and they were all synchronised going up and down the scales like some sort of heavenly sound. I sat there listening for an hour it was so sweet. It was almost like purring. If I never experience that again I will consider myself blessed to have heard it just once.
Adorable little dumplings! 🥰
I want some but I'm waiting for them to be more readily available in the hobby. When ppl can actually captive breed them.
Morph market sponsorship? Obsessed. I love this site and have used it for years. When it first came around I was already in the hobby. It revolutionized herpeticulture.
Btw, thanks for showing the seller. Great to have a name to a face.
I just can't get behind wild caught animals, it's how we end up driving species to extinction through the greed of the pet trade.
Every species of animal we have in the hobby was originally wild caught. How are we supposed to get captive breeding going without it? Furthermore, I would suggest checking out this article. It’s more about wild tarantulas, but it backs up that the hobby is not what’s destroying the wild populations.
“We conclude that any potential correlation between the popularity of certain tarantula genera in the pet keeping hobby and the level of endangerment in their natural habitat is mostly coincidental and not causative, particularly given that many tarantulas in the pet keeping hobby are regularly bred in captivity. Most notably, there are other major threats such as the highly unsustainable collection of tarantulas for food products in Cambodia (Yen & Ro, 2013), the collection as tourist souvenirs in Malaysia (Smith, 2011) and the ongoing habitat destruction globally (Branco & Cardoso, 2020)”

@@tarantulakatYou are correct about needing to do wild caught to get breeding going. However it does indeed cause issues as we rake so many reptiles and such from the wild, we throw off a balance, we can't just go off a few tarantula articles. I've known over the years enough people who traveled regularly for importing fish and reptiles, and they eventualy switched things up because they saw the species diminishing, we do need to be careful, like I said in my other post, I wish you the best in getting them to breed, I know you love and care for your animals.
And OMG they are sooo cute their little grumpy faces 😍😍💚💚 absolutely such a adorable animal much love ❤
Love your unboxing videos Tarantulas Kat! Epic videos so fun watch!
So luv the Rain Frogs cant wait for updates on them great vid Kat .
Cant wait for an update, shocked I was so intrigued lol Great video 😊
thank u for reuniting them with their brother 🥲
i'm in love they are so adorable i really hope you have success with them Kat🐸
OMG I have always loved these little rain frogs! They are so cute!
pets aren't a trend. don't get a pet just because it's viral, get it because you want it and are dedicated to looking after it :) i love your decor style btw!!!
08:25 he doesn't look grumpy anymore🤭settling in
I want rain frogs so bad but I’m scared to keep frogs as they’re so sensitive and I’d want to empty my entire life savings just to make sure their care would be 1000% perfect.
Same! Potato fairies are so cute but I would be so traumatized if they died
There's a lot of Asian care guides. Some have subs. They've been keeping them there for years.
OMGeee! I love them! SO frikkin CUTE!
They are adorable! I wish you and them the best!
Hello! Thank you for sharing!
Just some advice (coming from an experienced reptile/amphibian keeper) for everyone out there whos interested in buying:
If you are buying wild caught animals and you are not a seasoned exotic pet breeder- try not to buy them until they are well established in the hobby OR you can buy one that is captive bred and born. Wild caught animals do not thrive most of the time. ALSO- please set up your enclosure BEFORE the animals come into your care. Have the environment and heating/temperatures established before introducing the animal!
Thanks for reading!
The squeaks! They are so cute 🥰
Adorable little potato fairies :)
I am SO happy you are doing a video about these! I have been looking at them for a few months now, but there is little to no info on them. Best of luck! I'll keep my eye out for an update :)
The cuteness overload is real! I hope that they do really well for you!
They are adorable ❤
They are so adorable!
I meant to watch this earlier today but got distracted (thx adhd) then I was scrolling on tiktok and saw these chunky bois and instantly remembered this video and screamed "MY BELOVED CHONKS!!!!" I'm disappointed in myself.
They are really lovely, fingers crossed all goes well.🤞🏼☘🤞🏼
I love the song that plays at the end so much! And I love this channel! LOVE THE SPIDEYS! LOVE THE FROGS! Love it all!!
Ah! I love these lil guys 😍😍
I can’t wait for more people to own and learn about them so that we all feel comfortable owning them. I’ve wanted some for awhile but I want to wait until I feel confident in caring for them! Hope to see more videos about them!🤗
Thanks for sharing love it
Those are adorable ❤❤ I wish you all the luck with them
You now own the majestic potato fairies
OMG I can't handle how CUTE they are!!! I'm IN LOVE! 😍😍😍😍😍
They are so cute!! ❤
Love the rain frogs and also jealous that you were able to get them. 😅 looking forward to more froggie content
super cool and eating already! awesome
These frogs are so adorable!! I hope they will become captive bred so they can be more available.
They are adorable 😍
I’m obsessed! They’re so adorable!
Great new additions
I love those frogs! They are sooo cute! ❤❤❤🐸🐸
I've had my eyes on these babies for yearsssss omg I didn't know they were entering the hobby 🥺 I'm so excited!
Omg love them, so cute.
These ones are Soo awesome, one of my favorite frogs, The turtle Frog is another of my favorites, just an amazing species overall!
My daughter and i love watching your videos... we just got done binge watching all of your videos.
ADORABLE!!!❤❤❤
Awesome Video Tarantula Kat 😊
I ❤ these frogs and your hat!😊
Omg I watched so many of your vids and just realized the joke with the "Subscribe if youre not AND YOU WANT TO BE." 😂😅
OMG!!! So adorable!!!!
My local reptile store got some last month! I thought they would've sold out, but they didn't, because some people think they're ugly 😭 I think this is my calling to go get them, lol
They are adorable.
Its nice to see a video with someone expressing everything we all know and feel for Breviceps! Frog Pamper Moony Plus has lots of great info videos on caring for these cuties. *Can you believe it?! 325 people apparently disliked the video...SMH.
My favorite meat-nugget. A positively splendid creature.
So cute!
Biscuit supremacy 🥺🥺🥺 they’re so cute Kat congrats on the cutest little bbs and morphmarket collab 💕
Rain frogs are so cuuuuuuute!!!
They're so adorable
FYI I have heard (don't know if it's true but wanted to mention it to you), that that the clay they make those flower pots out of contains something toxic that can leach into the water. Like I said I have zero experience with any frogs or toads but just wanted to mention it to you just in case. They are adorable.
I wonder if it's a regional thing where the clay is harvested 🤔 but absolutely something to look into especially since amphibians are so sensitive to any chemicals, which A+ Kat for wearing gloves!
I wonder if she bought a shallow pot that has been glazed would be better? Maybe do something food safe from the market? Always good to be aware though.
@@houndgirl7365 I think the glazing that makes it like ceramic would be fine, we can use that for food items, as well as glass. It's just that raw textured stuff that I would steer clear of. I can't recall what it was but I was going to use the dish like her for something and was warned about that from someone.
Thank you for leaving in the mixxy part, it's so satisfying.
SO CUTE!❤
Please, let's not buy them until they're captive-bred! We can wait!😂❤
Problem is that most people don’t realize you won’t see them a majority of the time. Will essentially an empty box if keeping them properly.
Rain frogs are soooo cute, I love that they walk rather than hop.
So darn cute! I hope they do well in your care. I’m already attached and they aren’t even my pets. 😂
They're so cute!! I hope people successfully breed them so they can stop wild catching them 🙂 Imagine their reunion with the third one? "Heyyyy, welcome to the party! This is our crib" hahaha.
Super cute.
Omg super cute 🥰
I prefer captive breed, I’ll wait until the species booms in the hobby.
Nugget, Walnut and Buscuit ! Love those names!❤😊
I absolutely love these lil guys I mean idk anyone who cud look at them and think they weren't absolutely adorable and if u could I don't want to know u lol glad to start seeing them getting further along in the hobby can't wait to see some captive breeding
Sooooo adorbs!!! 🫶🫶🥰
Garden State Tortoise just recently showed off their rain frogs too, they’re sooooo cute! 🥰
Awesome video they are adorable 🎉❤🎉
The scream I scrumpt seeing the thumbnail for this video! ❤❤❤
So interesting😊
They're adorable 😍 I finally got my first reptile a crested gecko and I love her. Reptiles are so much fun and I want to get more.
