Who we are
Frog Beans is a small, family owned, critter enclosure company located in East Tennessee.
We provide enclosures you need to properly care for your critter, no matter the size. We offer custom enclosures to fit any need and any size. From simple wooden enclosures to fully insulated, stackable, exotic wood veneer enclosures to match any decor. Find out more here.
Frog Beans offers services and products to help with critter care and enclosure setup. Our enclosures offer easy to clean interior and exterior surfaces. We can customize the exterior to match any aesthetic. Our consultation services include data sheets and recommendations to answer all of your critter questions.
Why we do it
We founded Frog Beans with the idea of providing the highest quality environmental controls. This led to the discovery that the standard enclosures were not the best at maintaining temperature and humidity. Glass and PVC are great at reflecting heat and holding moisture. That is good but it could be better. What if the enclosure contributed to maintaining heat and moisture? That’s what we build our enclosures to do!
Building enclosures and drift wood enclosure decor is NOT the only thing we do, it is just the thing we do to fund our passion… rescuing animals. We use at least 20% of our income from Frog Beans to fund Animals of Appalachia and Not Your Normal Animal Shelter, our non-profit animal rescue. So know that every dollar you spend with us goes to house and feed the animals we rescue.
