Let me treat your beloved scaled/furry family member to a stress free getaway!

Today’s spotlight resident is Ham the Asian Painted Bullfrog, also known as the Malaysian bullfrog, banded frog, digging frog, Kaloula frog, common Asian frog, and painted ballon frog, but most people just called them “chubby frogs”. In the wild, this family of narrow-mouthed frogs eat primarily termites and ants. Termites are hard to offer in captivity so Ham gets a staple of small dubia roaches. When startled or threatened, chubby frogs can secrete a poisonous sticky white substance, though it is not much threat to humans. They are a terrestrial species, preferring to make their homes on the ground among leaf litter or shallow pools, but are surprisingly capable climbers. The males make a loud call during mating season that some compare to cattle noises. Ham has yet to sing the song of his people for me but I am definitely looking forward to hearing it in the future!

On today’s episode of Meet the Residents, we have Magoo the African Bullfrog! Magoo is turning 2 years old at the end of this month. I got him when he was barely the size of a quarter.

African Bullfrogs are endemic to, who would have guessed it, Africa. These frogs display a unique sexual dimorphism where the male is bigger than a female, which is usually the opposite case with other amphibian species. They can live about 40 years in captivity. The males can reach a whopping 4 lbs and 8-10 inches - about the size of a dinner plate - while the females typically only get half the size. Magoo is currently about 4 inches long and 2 lbs so he still has some growing to do. Mating season occurs after the dry season when rainfall is a plentiful. Males will go head to head in order to woo potential mates. They utilize their power hind legs to lunge at rivals and bite down with incredible force. After mating, the male usually sticks around to protect the eggs from predators, although he may find himself getting a little peckish and snacking on his babies while he waits.

African Bullfrogs have a varied diet of invertebrates, fish, small mammals, birds, and other frogs - they really aren’t picky! Magoo has a voracious appetite and is given a rotation of dubia roaches, silversides, night crawlers, and occasionally frozen/thawed rats or quail. He is a beautiful specimen and I love him to death!

Are you leaving town for the holidays and need someone to take care of your exotic or small mammal pets? I am the right person for the job!

My name is Kaylee and I am a 23-year-old animal lover located in McKinney. I can either welcome your beloved pet into my home or come to yours to conduct daily maintenance visits. I have experience with and/or knowledge of a variety of species - amphibians, snakes, rats, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, degus, chinchillas, leopard geckos, crested geckos, bearded dragons, blue tongued skinks, tegus, uromastyx, and many more! You can rest assured that whatever animal it is will be treated like family.

I will send daily text or call updates with pictures if you so choose. I even have my own dubia roach and hissing cockroach colonies that I can feed to species that eat insects. I can store frozen rats/mice in my freezer and fresh fruits or vegetables in my fridge.

My pricing is as follows:
Boarding: $25 per day
House visits: $15 per 30-minute visit (must be within a 20 mile radius of zip code 75069)

Please message me with the species you need services for, whether you prefer boarding or drop-in visits at your own home, and the dates the service will last for. And feel free to ask me as many questions as you want! You can reach me through email or text/call. If I miss your call I should get back to you within a day.

I DO NOT FEED LIVE MICE/RATS. Sorry!
