MEET THE BANDED RUBBER FROG!

Fun Facts:
- Banded Rubber Frogs have short legs.
- They are black with pink or red stripes.

Banded rubber frogs are cute little frogs. Their bright colors help warn predators that they are toxic. Thanks we need that warning!
The Adventures of Ellie and Edmond 
I also eat ants, when I get lucky. If Mom sees that guy all puffed up like that, she might put him on treat restriction. That’s what happened to me when I weighed 23 pounds instead of 21.
