  1. keeping wild caught frogs is cruel here's why

    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

    also are they different species because u shouldnt mix species

    common problems include

    eating each other (its surprising what will at least try to eat what)

    Attacking/ killing each other (2 animals that dont normally live together will sometimes fight.

    stress (makes for ill reptiles just being near even a species from the same geological range can be stressful to these animals)

    Incompatible toxins bacteria and illnesses (especially with phibs but is common with others 2 just cause one species can handle one type of bacteria/doesn't mean they all can these animals evolved in totally different ways meaning there resistant to different things, as for toxins many phibs and invert have these as defense mechanisms and can easily kill or make the others ill)

    these arent toys u should really put them back do some research then if u still want a frog get it from the pet store
