Frogs at Pelaw Main

Frogs at Pelaw Main A page about my journey keeping my own captive frogs, rescuing and rehabilitating native wild frogs, and about the wild frogs found in my area.

With lots of cute frog photos and videos along the way! Also on Instagram Frogs Main I am a licensed NSW Frog keeper and my wife is a Veterinarian. We are located in Pelaw Main, NSW, Australia. We are in the process of setting up several enclosures to legally house several species of captive bred native frogs. We also are making our property into a frog sanctuary to be home to as many wild

native frogs as possible. We have the facilities and knowledge to rescue and rehabilitate native frogs that need to be cared for and released, or relocated. This is a page for us to document and share our journey with frogs! Please contact us if you are local and have frogs or tadpoles in need of help; injured, or that need to be rescued, relocated, or rehomed. We will do our best to offer help and advice. We are affiliated with, and frog rescue and rehabilitation is done on behalf of, Hunter Wildlife Rescue. Please note that we are are private residence and not open to the public for visits at this time.
