ABOUT FiNN'S FROG FARM

FiNN'S FROG FARM started out with a trip to the reptile show.  Baby Finn was crying so Katie took him to the car and waited for Jim.  Jim was holding a plastic container with six very small Red-Eye Tree Frogs.  After that, their hobby expanded to tree frogs, dart frogs, fruit flies, and everything in between..

​

FiNN'S FROG FARM is located in Cottage Grove, MN.

Eggs, Tadpoles, Frogs and Bugs

It has been an amazing adventure to raise frogs from tadpoles and see them continue the cycle.  Although the picture to the left looks like the tadpoles they are still in the egg.  The red lines that are coming from the egg are the gills and the way in which they breathe.
