Are you looking for a unique and exciting pet? Why not consider the False Tomato frog? This little creature will bring a smile to your face with its fun and playful personality. The False Tomato frog originates from the island of Madagascar and is also known as the Guinet's disc-footed frog. Thanks to its red and orange coloration, it gets its name from its striking resemblance to a tomato. This vibrant coloration makes the False Tomato frog so popular as a pet.
To care for your false tomato frog, you will need to provide a terrarium or aquarium with a water area, land area, and hiding places.
The false tomato frog is a tropical species, so the temperature in the enclosure should be kept between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit. The false tomato frog is also semi-aquatic, so the enclosure should have a water area that is shallow enough for the frog to stand in and deep enough for it to dive into if it wants to.
The false tomato frog is an opportunistic feeder, so it will eat just about anything that you put in its enclosure. You can feed your false tomato frog crickets, mealworms, earthworms, and other small insects. You should also provide a calcium supplement for your false tomato frog to help it stay healthy.
False tomato frogs are social creatures, so keeping them in pairs or groups is best. If you hold more than one false tomato frog in the same enclosure, you will need to provide enough space for each frog to have its hiding place.
False tomato frogs are relatively easy to care for, but they can be sensitive to stress. It is essential to ensure that their enclosure is set up correctly and that they are not being disturbed too much. It will be a rewarding pet if you take good care of your false tomato frog.

I originally ordered a big eye tree frog. Later I found out they were out of stock, so I asked to be notified when they got them back in stock. They actually did notify me which was great. Most reptile suppliers say they will, but don't. I placed my order on a Friday and got my critters early Tuesday. They all arived alive and beautiful! They are great with communication amd customer service. Even though I was ordering from 3000 miles away I felt as though i was face to face and in their store!
