Where can I buy bullfrogs?

Looking for web site that sells live bullfrogs, need them for man made pond, not pet aquarium. Thanks.

rather than in the Axolotl section.

Sorry I can't be anymore help than that!

I think live green frogs would be a better choice. They aren't as big of a predator threat as bullfrogs. Bullfrogs often run away and play havoc on the local ecosystem. The closest to being ecologically correct would be to collect some local tadpoles or frogs if your state regulations allow it.

I agree with Michael. Bullfrogs are terrible on so many levels. They can also be carriers for chytrid fungus.

A hundred times better than buying frogs is to let the local frog population colonize your new man made pond. Try checking out Operation Frog Pond for some advice. No matter what species of frog you choose to buy there is still a risk of negatively impacting local frog populations by their introduction, even if they are a local species.

Usually, any store that specializes in ponds has bullfrog tadpoles for sale. Look in your phonebook for a list of places.
