  1. dont listen to the lady that answered first. I have a frog that is pretty  healthy and clean and I've had it for about 2 1/2 months now. :)


  2. the frog was taking care of itself without your help.  free the frog.

  3. if it was not bred in captivity it would be best to let it go espically if you have no experience with a pet frog.  so get off the internet and set old croaker free.  that would be the best.  they do say that if you truly love something then let it go.

  4. let it back into the wild, ur being cruel and i'm sure it illegal (The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981)

  5. ok some wild caught (WC) frogs just die im captivity no real reason it just happens add this the number that die from stress stress related disease then ur hitting quite a high number. also wc frogs have shortened lifespans stress related behavior disorders and tend to get ill easy. wc almost never have a good quality of life its cruel to the animal.

    Frogs arent as easy to keep as some people think, i dunno who this culture has emerged that thinks frogs are as easy to keep as fish but there not they require specific care

    finally disease and parasites are an issue. some frogs carry disease that can be passed onto humans but the main risk is to other frogs. when frogs are placed in a tank together disease can run writhe making both frogs ill and making for an unpleasant environment add this too there lowered immune system due to the stress of being snatched from the wild and u have a recipe for disaster

  6. Let it go, it will be happier and heathier in the wild.  Not to mention you could be breaking the law by keeping a wild animal without a permit.

  7. It's wild - it needs to stay that way.  The oil that humans have on -our- skin is harmful to -their- skin.  Most frogs eat specific insects, which they catch on their own.

  8. you care for it by letting it go. do you really think you can care for it if you don't klnow anything about it? do you really think its enjoying being caught by someone who can't properly care for it?
