Josh's Frogs is the largest one-stop-shop bringing nature right to your doorstep. joshsfrogs.com Our facility is closed to the public.

Josh's Frogs is an inspiring story of success from humble beginnings. It was all started in 2004 by Joshua Willard, a former pastor, dart frog hobbyist and vivarium enthusiast. Josh made flightless fruit fly cultures to serve as feeder insects for his poison dart frogs. From his apartment, he started selling the extra, pre-made fruit fly cultures as well as supplies for kits so others could make their own. After moving to a house, Josh utilized the space in his garage, where he expanded in selling other products as well and hiring his first couple of employees. His dedication to customer service and quality supplies quickly led to a growing success. In 2009, the company moved to its 1st facility in Corunna, Michigan, where it only employed about 4 people but continued to grow. With the extra space, we were able to bring plant propagation, care, and shipping in-house and were able to carry a full line of live plants for dart frog vivaria. We continued to expand our product selection and further develop our own product line, but we quickly began to run out of space! In 2013, Josh's Frogs moved into a 37,000 square foot, 5-story warehouse in Owosso, Michigan where we currently reside and employ over 100 people. We’re now the largest online retailer of reptile and amphibian products as well as the largest breeder of captive bred dart frogs in the United States, and probably the world. We’ve utilized this large space to greatly increase the now even wider variety of live plants, animals, and feeder insects that we offer. However, being the leaders in the industry, we are trusted as a hub of helpful information via our website, blogs, videos on our YouTube channel, and other social media. Our knowledgeable staff is always willing to help in any way that we can. The following philosophies drive our business:

Customer Service - We’re dedicated to providing the best customer service in the pet industry by responding to customers in a timely manner and checking emails/voicemails/chat messages several times per day. Captive Bred Animals - You will never see a wild caught animal for sale at Josh's Frogs. We take great pride in providing only healthy, captive-bred animals. Education - Josh's Frogs is dedicated to teaching proper husbandry of our animals. When you order from us, you’re not just purchasing an animal or product, you’re also purchasing the available services of support and information that is provided to you before, during, and after your purchase. By truly caring about you and your pet’s needs, we have grown to what we are today and owe many thanks to your loyalty!

Hard water leaving white spots all over your glass? 💧

Tap water carries dissolved minerals. Mist with it every day and those minerals build up as spots on your vivarium glass, and they can slowly clog misting nozzles too.

Our Josh's Frogs Reverse Osmosis System (50 GPD) filters those minerals out, so you can mist with clean, soft water that keeps glass clear and misters flowing. Carnivorous plants like butterworts need low-mineral water, too. 🌿

This week it's 30% off, and so are the replacement filters for all four stages.

30% off through Sunday, Nov 15 at JoshsFrogs.com

Lasiodorides polycuspulatus, commonly known as the Peruvian Blonde Tarantula, is native to the drier forests and subtropical regions of Peru. This species is a slow grower, taking 5 to 8 years to reach full size and maturity. As a desert survivalist, it’s well adapted to conserving energy and can survive long periods in the wild without food. Even in captivity, well fed individuals are known to go on extended fasts for months despite having food readily available. The payoff? A potentially 25+ year lifespan and a spider that doesn’t need to eat very often! This little one is just an inch and a half across, yet is already about a year and a half old. I can’t wait to watch them grow into their glory, because an adult Lasiodorides polycuspulatus is truly a stunning spider to behold!

Meet Bob, the most dramatic Pac-Man frog on the internet. 🐸

"If it has legs and touches him with them he throws a fit and will not eat again for 2-3 business days." - Sara M.

Bob is about 3 years old and lives in a fully bioactive 25 gallon terrarium with a cleanup crew of dwarf white isopods, springtails and Porcellionides pruinosus. "He likes to dig up most plants but has allowed one golden pothos and a nerve plant to live... for now..."

Business days. 😂 We love you, Bob.

Thank you for sharing him with us, Sara! 💚
