Kassina

Eremiophilus Fitzinger, 1843 (suppressed name) Hylambates Duméril, 1853 Cassiniopsis Monard, 1937 "1936" Kassina is a genus of hyperoliid frogs, commonly referred to as running frogs or kassinas.

[1] They are characterized by preferring a distinctive "walking" with the back legs instead of the more traditional frog-hopping.

[2] The following species are recognized in the genus Kassina:[1][3] K. maculata is frequently exported from Tanzania for the exotic pet trade.

Their captive environment should include a substrate that accommodates burrowing, and provides high humidity.

K. maculata will readily eat crickets and small mealworms,[4] although insects should be dusted with a vitamin supplement.
