Lao Tong introduced seven varieties of pet horned frogs and hybrid strains and hybrid mutant strains of South American horned frogs to his friends in the article "Tao Wenwan, Watching Anime, Raising Cute Pets". As a continuation of the above, this article mainly introduces the daily management and breeding methods of pet horned frogs.
Breeding environment—— Horned frog is an animal with little activity. Under the conditions of captive breeding, the environment does not need to be very large, but it must be separated from dry and wet, avoiding light and ventilation The temperature is controlled between 26°C and 28°C. A water basin is necessary in the breeding environment. The water basin can not only provide drinking water for the horned frogs, but also allow the horned frogs to "soak" in order to keep the horned frog skin moist. To regulate breathing, maintain body temperature, help defecation and moulting. Change the water frequently in summer, just cool the water. Remember not to use chlorine-containing tap water directly. It should also be noted that most of the defecation of horned frogs is in the water, and the filth should be cleaned up in time.
- Water and land box breeding: This box achieves dry and wet separation from the design structure. There are air holes around the box for ventilation. Players only need to choose boxes of different specifications according to the size of the individual horned frog. Save the basin [yeah]).
2. biochemical cotton rearing: This method can be regarded as an improved version of the water and land box rearing method. The land part is replaced with soft biochemical cotton, which saves time and effort.

4. Horned frog mud rearing: This method is an improvement of the soil culture method. The horned frog mud is shaped by high temperature and high pressure, and it is not easy to pulverize. It can meet the nature of horned frogs to dig and hide , And can keep the breeding environment tidy. Horned frog mud also contains activated carbon, which can absorb the peculiar smell in the terrarium,After washing, it can be used repeatedly for several months.
5. Coconut soil breeding: This method is the same as the horned frog mud, which is an improvement of the soil culture method. Coconut soil is a kind of fiber fertilizer processed from the coconut shell, clean and environmentally friendly, and the soil is loose , Good air permeability, slightly insufficient water-locking property, a water basin should be used when using it.
Horned frog's food-Horned frogs are carnivorous animals and have a wide range of predation. Under artificial feeding conditions, common feeds are as follows:
- frog food: artificial feed is not only nutritionally balanced , The price is affordable, and it saves the players the time spent on taking care of the live feed.

4. Dubia: Native to the rainforest of South America, it is recognized as a high-quality live feed in the climbing pet circle, easy to manage and raise.
5. Red cherries: Like Dubia, they are all recognized high-quality live feeds in the climbing pet circle. They have more advantages in price and are easy to manage and raise.
6. Suckling mice: It can be used as a feed for adult horned frogs. It is a nutritionally balanced feed.
7. barley insect , yellow mealworm : very cheap live feed on the market,It is easy to manage and feed, has a high fat content, and the shell contains chitin which is difficult to digest. It is a controversial feed for horned frogs.
8. Fingers: Horned frogs are docile pets, but due to their low IQ, they can’t accurately identify objects moving in front of them and attack all moving objects indiscriminately. It is recommended to feed them Use tweezers.
The feeding frequency of horned frogs:
Larval frogs: horned frogs in the growth stage need a lot of nutritional support, so the feeding frequency is slightly higher. Feed once every 2-3 days, and the food volume should not be larger than that of horned frogs. Half of the body.
