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.

It's the FINAL DAY of for 2025 🐸🤳

This year, we’ve collected over 14,000 submissions during Frog ID Week and we’re not finished yet!

Every single one of these recordings helps our scientists monitor frog health around the country and understand how Australia’s frogs are responding to a changing planet.

FrogID Week showcases the importance of citizen science every year and we want to thank everyone who’s gone out recording in rain, hail or shine 🙌

But just because FrogID Week is ending, doesn’t mean the recording has to! You can get involved with FrogID all year round, so please keep an ear out for those frog calls 👂

Happy frogging 🐸

These unique frogs lay their eggs in foamy masses deep inside burrows or old crayfish holes.

When heavy rain floods their burrows, the tadpoles escape into nearby water, where they’ll spend three to eleven months developing into frogs.

This year, the Giant Burrowing Frog is a priority species for .

We need more recordings of this threatened frog to help our scientists monitor its health and guide conservation efforts.

FrogID Week runs until Sunday 16 November! Find out how you can get involved here: https://bit.ly/3WPAyjF

Genetic data has revealed that the endangered Booroolong Frog is breeding with a more common species, the Eastern Stony Creek Frog, and we must now consider the risks that hybrids may pose to our threatened species.
