Information and Care Sheet for the Wood Frog
The Wood frog (Rana sylvatica) has a broad North American distribution, extending from the southern Appalachians to the boreal forest. Adult wood frogs are usually brown, tan, or rust colored, and usually have a dark eye mask. Individual frogs are capable of varying their color. The underparts of wood frogs are pale with a yellow or green cast. These frogs can actually freeze themselves completely solid and then unthaw as the temperature warms.
Size of a Wood Frog
Wood frogs range from 2 to 3 inches in length. Females are larger than males.
Feeding a Wood Frog
The Wood Frog feeds on a variety of smaller insects. These insects include crickets, mealworms, earthworms and even small grasshoppers or moths.
Caging Requirements for a Wood Frog
Housing/Habitat: In the wild Wood Frogs do not move far from their home area but they will still require a fair bit of space in captivity to move. A 20 gallon aquarium should be the minimum size for one or two Wood Frogs. In the wild the Wood Frog lives on soil so that or peat moss will work well in captivity. Bark chips would also be acceptable as a substrate. Wood Frogs will need a sufficient amount of plants in their habitat so that they can hide when they are scared.
Temperature: Since Wood Frogs come from cooler areas of the world the daytime temperature should remain about 75 degrees F. At night the temperature should drop to about 65 degrees F to 70 degrees F.
Lighting: These frogs will require a fair bit of UVB light during the daytime.
