Description
CB Super Pikachu Horned Frog
(Ceratophrys cranwelli)
Housing
- Enclosure: A 10-20 gallon terrarium is suitable for housing a single adult Super Pikachu Horned Frog. Focus on providing ample floor space rather than height, as these frogs are largely terrestrial.
- Substrate: Use a moisture-retaining substrate such as coconut fiber or sphagnum moss to help maintain the necessary humidity levels and allow for natural burrowing behavior.
- Temperature and Humidity: Keep the enclosure at a daytime temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C), with a slight drop at night. Humidity should be kept between 60-80%, monitored with a hygrometer to ensure a proper environment.
Diet and Water
- Feeding: These frogs have a large appetite. Feed them a varied diet of insects such as crickets, mealworms, and occasionally small pinkie mice for adults, ensuring to dust prey with calcium and vitamin supplements regularly.
- Water: Always provide a shallow dish of clean, dechlorinated water for soaking. The dish should be shallow to prevent drowning, reflecting their natural habitat's access to water.
Health and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential to prevent bacterial and fungal growth. Perform spot cleaning as necessary and replace the substrate completely every month.
- Health Monitoring: Keep an eye out for any signs of distress or illness, including changes in eating habits, lethargy, or abnormal skin appearance. Consult a veterinarian experienced with amphibians if you have concerns.
Handling and Interaction
- Handling: It is best to limit handling to reduce stress on the frog. If you must handle your frog, ensure your hands are clean and moist to protect its sensitive skin.
- Solitude: Super Pikachu Horned Frogs are solitary creatures that may exhibit aggression towards other frogs; they should be housed individually.
Special Considerations
- Vibrant Colouration: The unique colouration of the Super Pikachu Horned Frog makes it a visually stunning pet that requires the same care as other Ceratophrys cranwelli morphs.
- Feeding Precautions: Exercise caution during feeding times to avoid accidental bites, as these frogs can mistake fingers for food due to their strong feeding response.
