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.

Have you seen any sick or dead frogs?

This winter, the Australian Museum team is receiving reports from across Australia of frogs that appear sick or have died. These frogs may be lethargic, sitting out in the open during the day, and showing dark or patchy skin.
In winter 2021, Australia experienced a mass frog die-off. We’re concerned it could happen again, and we need your help.

If you spot a sick or dead frog, please email your observation (including photos and location details, if possible) to [email protected].

A huge thank you to these incredible contributors who’ve submitted frog calls from areas we previously had no records – helping us fill in new grid cells and expand the coverage of our national frog dataset.

– Eridani Mulder, 11 grid cells
– Joanne Ocock, 12 grid cells
– Keith McDonald, 12 grid cells

Your efforts are making a real impact!

In March, Taronga Zoo Sydney undertook the largest-ever release of Northern Corroboree Frogs in the Northern Brindabella mountains, in partnership with DCCEEW and NPWS. 544 juveniles were released to boost wild populations of this Critically Endangered species that has faced decades of decline due to chytrid fungus, climate change and invasive species.

Annual monitoring shows that released juveniles are returning to establish nests. Building on this success, the program will focus on increasing wild numbers through at least three consecutive years of juvenile frog releases, starting with this year’s large release.

Frogs jumping for joy in the Macquarie Marshes.

Ecologist Dr Jo Ocock, a Project Officer with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, has been monitoring the Marshes for years and said the diversity of frog species found there is impressive.

“The Marshes support at least 14 or 15 different species of frogs,” she said.

“It’s quite high diversity when you think you’re in such a semi-arid area.

"It’s because of these mostly permanent, marshy wetland habitats.”

Among the species are green tree frogs, Peron’s tree frogs, burrowing frogs, and water-holding frogs that lie dormant underground until rain or flooding draws them out.
