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 t

heir 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.

Want a mini toad that’s also adorable? Meet the Malaysian Dwarf Toad (Ingerophrynus parvus). Adult females reach just 1.5–2 inches, while males stay even smaller at around 1.25 inches. True to their name, they remain tiny their whole lives and are nocturnal ambush predators, and like many toads, they can secrete mild skin toxins to deter predators, making this little toad both cute and tough! 🐸

Almost all of our Ludochilus 'Sea Turtle' Jewel Orchids are budding up to flower soon! This plant has beautiful dark green foliage with pink veining, and it brings brightness to the winter months with cheery, white, flowers. It can be grown in normal room humidity, but would also do very well in a vivarium. 🌿

Poecilotheria miranda, the Bengal Spotted Ornamental, is one of the most elegant members of the “parachute spider” group. When threatened or displaced high in the canopy, it can leap from branches and glide safely to the ground using trailing silk. Rather than the electric blues of its famous cousin P. metallica, P. miranda matures into a refined palette of soft greys, crisp whites, and a subtle metallic purple or violet sheen across the carapace, an unmistakably regal look. Flip the script to the underside and the warning appears. Vivid yellow flashes on the front legs are displayed when the spider rears into a defensive threat posture. These aposematic signals say, “there are so many places that you could be in the world instead of right here, right now!”. Like all Poecilotheria, its venom is medically significant. Bites are not fatal, but can cause intense pain, severe muscle cramping, and lingering exhaustion lasting days or even weeks, and even lead to you strengthening your religion. Strictly arboreal, this species lives its entire life in trees, crafting silk lined retreats deep within hollows rather than spinning capture webs. From these hideouts, it hunts with legendary speed. Poecilotheria are infamous for being “teleportation fast,” launching explosive ambushes capable of overpowering insects, small mammals, and even small birds. 🕷️

Big updates happening behind the scenes at Josh’s Frogs! We recently renovated a room and are now starting to add the frogs back in. So far, our Red-Eyed Tree Frogs have moved into their brand-new enclosures, and they’re already looking right at home. Next up in the enclosure building process is to pick out fun cork pieces and climbing structures to make their spaces even better! 😃

Fire-bellied toads are a semi-aquatic species that thrive in enclosures with both land and water. Providing shallow water for swimming and a secure land area or pieces of floating cork for resting is essential for their health. Not only does this setup support their natural behaviors, but it also makes them a joy to watch as they explore and swim throughout their habitat! 🐸
