    Default Frog Emergency Care

    Hello,

    Today there was a huge mass of Wood Frogs going through my farm yard, and some of them strayed off and traveled towards my pond... but a few hours before they migrated across my yard my father accidentally spilled chemicals into our pond... these few frogs that strayed off all jumped into the pond except for one.. one sat near the pond ... but all of the frogs that jumped into the pond unfortunately died .. so the mass of frogs are gone now and the one live frog keeps trying to jump into my pond... I don't want to leave him stranded in my yard else-where.. so i put him in my 20 gallon high tank, with a shallow dish of water and a lot of leaves... any help on a good setup ( Any Pictures ) and feeding, lighting, heating, tank, setup, ( ETC: )....Thanks

    Hello,
    Welcome to Frog Forum
    I'm so sorry to hear about the frogs.....

    Start by being sure the frog is hydrated !
    Use very dampened paper towels as substrate and a shallow water dish with de-chlorinated water.
    If you don't have amphibian safe water de-chlorinator...use spring water temporarily.

    We would need to know what species of frog yo have so a proper set-up can be arranged.
    A photo is a good idea so we can id it accurately.

    MY 2 cents and of course... my opinion
    If they were looking for water;
    bring the frog to a near by area w/water that is not polluted and release it.
    I believe it's best to leave the wild ones in their natural habitat.

    If you want a frog you would have a great choice of captive bread ones.

    We want to help.
    If you are keeping this frog. You WILL get great advise here. But we need that photo
