Hilken, G., Willmann, F., Dimigen, J. et al.

Abstract

In this study, the preference of X. laevis for different housing conditions were examined. X. laevis preferred dark backgrounds, a water temperature between 20C-22C and the deeper parts of the test basin. Red earthenware pipe was accepted as cover, but a transparent pipe was not. The frogs avoided areas illuminated with more than 200 lux.
