What kind of frog is this?

Dude, that is a toad!

Theres many types of toads and stuff.

It eats~ crickets, spiders, meal worms, or any other bug

Heres how you can tell the gender~ carefully pick the TOAD up under the arms. If it "ribbits" its a boy. If it doesn't it is a female

It is not safe, really. If you are VERY clean after you touch it, then you won't get a disease. Some toads do carry diseases.

Get a tank (about 5 gallons ) put dirt about 3 inches, put MANY plants for your toad to hide in, and make sure there is plenty of water (: I hope this helped!

Whatever it is, its a beauty!! Cute little thing! It would be much nicer to put it back where you found it so that the frog can have the quality of life that he was meant to have, and not spend the rest of his life trapped in a glass box. If you are looking for a pet frog, go to your local petsmart or petco. They have many different kinds of frogs, I have personally looked at them and I have to say that they are very beautiful. Gorgeous coloring. Perhaps you could invest in a ten gallon aquarium, all the necessary supplies for it, and then once you visit petsmart and pick out the kind of frog you want to buy, go home and research that kind of frog. That way you can provide it with the best care possible right from the start because you will have educated yourself about the species.

This is definitely a common toad. Toads eat bugs (ex. crickets), worms, sometimes smaller toads or frogs. Female toads are usually larger because they carry the eggs, only male frogs sing (rib-bit). I'm pretty sure that the frog is not harmful to children, but the children may hurt it (they're fragile!!).

To care for a toad, you have to follow these instructions-

Step

1

House your toad in a fish tank

Step

2

Keep about 2 to 4 inches of water on the bottom of the tank.

Step

3

Remember to only use chlorinated water that has been left out for 24 hours or more before adding to the tank.

Step

4

Add some rocks so they have some land on which to stay.

Step

5

Provide hollow logs in which the toads can hide.

Step

6

Keep the tank covered so they won't escape.

Step

7

Buy crickets to feed your toads.

Step

8

Decide if you prefer to provide a full-week's supply in the tank at one time or feed them more frequently.

Hope I helped helped

That is definitely not a frog its a toad.

This website shows you the difference between toads and frogs:

I'm not really sure what kind of toad it is. Probably a common.

Size: Most toad species stay small -- two to three inches. The Marine Toads grow quite large and eat mice. Good old USA toads pose no threat to mammals.

Foods: Toads love live insects and worms. They catch them with the aid of their sticky tongue. They quickly learn to eat pieces of food from the end of a hand-held broom straw. They roll their eyes as they swallow their food. Toads eat surprisingly large quantities. Some will learn to eat goldfish from your fingers. Toads eat anything swallowable but cannot run down fast-moving prey. Worms move at the right speed.

Supplements: Toads grow slowly enough that an occasional (weekly) calcium/vitamin D3 dusting of their crickets suffices.

Lighting: Toads prefer to come out at night. They quickly adapt to your feeding schedule. You'll notice they spend a great deal of time sitting and thinking. They do not need full-spectrum lighting. Make sure it is not too bright.

Heat: Room temperature suffices. Toads need no extra heat.

Did you get him out of the wild? If so, why do you want to take him out of the wild? There's no care better than the wild.

Also how old is your cousins daughter? Children under the age of 6 should not be handling reptiles and amphibians due to possible salmonella poisoning.

Knowing a lot on an animal and owning one a two different things. lol

I can't believe some people have answered saying that's a frog. It's a toad!

It is a bullfrog.

Eats mosquito larvae, i think it eats insects too

If it lays eggs it is female

I haven't heard that it is poisonous but handle it with a gloves since most of the bull frogs will give you a nasty itch

Caring for the frog isn't simple you may leave it in a pool in your garden.

its a leopard frog.diet-crickets,earthworms,waxworms,mealworms,NOT TO BIG.Fedding-feed adults 1-2 times a week.Housing-a ten gallon tank with a strong,tight fitting screen lid to prevent escape.increase tank size 5 gallons for each frog.for terrarium,provide a water bowl to submerge in if needed.add filtered chlorine free water to soil at one side only,so one side is moist(not wet)and the other is dry,allowing animal to chose.add pieces of bark for hiding places.for aqua-terrarium,use water filter but ensure areas of still water.maintain a range of 68 F. to 78 F.use a heat source when needed.moderate humidity habitat well-ventilated.mulch-type commercial material.unbleached paper towels,soil,dampend sphagnum moss,and bark.avoid gravel and artificial turf (to harsh for skin).have a shallow dish of clean, filtered chlorine-free water always availble.WARNING-DO NOT HOUSE DIFFERENT SPEICES TOGETHER.
