Most of the African Dwarf Clawed Frogs in the pet trade are bred commercially in the USA (Florida), the Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, Poland and Indonesia. But there are also ADCFs available from Lagos in Nigeria, Cameroon and possibly other African countries.Wild-caught imports of Xenopus, Silurana and Pipa are available but Xenopus laevis is usually bred commercially. I (webmaster@pipidae.org) am always interested in contact with importers of wild-caught Pipids, especially ADCFs.
