Bubble Frog By: Madylin McDaniel, Lorelai Lawver, Casey Scott
The Bubble Frog, also known as the Banded Bullfrog, Chubby Frog, Asian Painted Frog, and Rice Frog, is native to Southeast Asia, and usually lives on the forest floor, in rice fields, and even live inside homes.
These frogs will eat flies, crickets, moths, grasshoppers, earthworms and more. These frogs are big eaters and are very slow. Meal worms can be fed once a week or so if one Bubble Frog is kept at home, but should not make up most of its diet they can be used as a laxative.
Bubble Frogs hide under fallen leaves during the day and eat in the evening.
Like many other narrow-mouthed frogs, Bubble frogs have the ability to expand themselves when threatened, and to secrete toxic glue-like substances from their bodies as a defense mechanism. They are also able to survive dry conditions by burying themselves in the ground and waiting for rain.
Bubble Frogs are commonly sold in pet stores. They need high humidity and prefer temperatures of 80–85 °F
