Live in New England? A deal for you.

[DonLisk]

Hi All,
I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets and I can get away with somethings but the crickets are gonna end up getting me evicted.... so, you say, whats this mean to you?

Are you interested in some beautiful Whites Tree Frogs? I have four (going to break the families heart) that will go to a good home in the enclosure they are living in. I just need a guarantee that this will be their home and not moved out for the free enclosure. Simple care and maintenance.... all you need is a two lamp hood or pair of dome lights and I'll provide the in use bulbs.
Your cost? 0 Dollars and your word you'll keep them.


If interested, let me know.... I can probably transport them but would like reembursement for the fuel costs or if you pick them up, the tank will NOT fit in through a car door.

I can be contacted via personal message here or at reptiles00@hotmail.com

Where abouts in New England?

[DonLisk]

New Hampshire
Close to the sea coast

I'm off all week so its about 3 hours for me to drive to Rhode Island.

[Jenste]

I must check with the hubby - - Can I let you know in a few days? (IF someone else comes along interested, by all means don't hold them for me. This is going to take some shmoozing)

[DonLisk]

No problem. Its all set and will only need a light fixture. I run a 26 watt CFL in the day and a 15 watt night light (red) since they love to pile under it.
Search some of my threads and you'll find the new false bottom I put in with a drain pump.

They only need love and proper misting and feeding. Everything else is included.

[DonLisk]

Jenna, I'm hoping they go to you since I know they will be well cared for and in good hands.
Let me know. I can bring them down and would just need help moving the enclosure from the car to their new location.

I wish I lived closer I'm sorry you have to get rid of them. I hope they go to a wonderful home.

[DonLisk]

Oh they will or they don't go.

I probably wouldn't be doing this but the neighbors have started all kinds of issues with the landlord so we are going to reduce the chances of us having any issues. I just use to take them to work for the day when we had maintenance or inspections on the home but the large singing crickets are giving us away.

I can get away with the smaller crickets so the RETFs will stay for the time being. Gonna break our hearts to see them go.

Sorry to hear about this Don. It's sad. Those darn crickets. That was also one of the reasons for me getting rid of my pacman frogs. Just like I said last week.....I wish all my frogs ate fruit flies. They are so much easier to deal with.

[DonLisk]

Yeah, our first frogs too which is what got us addicted. My wife talks to them most nights because as soon as they hear her voice that just start yappin'. Right now I have two perched staring at me like I'm lunch.

I am working on the hubby.

His main concern is that we are going to be moving into our house into a few weeks and 1) he dreads moving the tanks I have now (6) and 2) our one bedroom apartment is already in chaos as we are starting to sort/pack to store in my mothers garage to make the move easier.

I am going to keep working on it - if we can plan it for when I move, I may be able to win because his biggest rebuttal is resolved lol.

I have to start doing my homework on these lovelies - I know basics but definitely want to know more if I am going to take your babies.

[JBSFrogAndToad]

Hi! I live in New England and could take one frog. I have a male Whites and have been thinking about getting a friend for him. I live in Southern Massachusetts and could possibly meet up with you somewhere. I already have a tank, light, etc. Please let me know what you think.
(And please let me know if you know anyone in New England who'd like some cane toads- mine need a new home and I don't want to ship them.)

Hi Jenn, I'm actually hoping to keep all 4 frogs together in the viv that comes with them.

I can wait a few weeks to know they are going to you. The tank fits right in the back of my car so no problem getting it to you. You know how big this tank is right? :-)

[Jenste]

actually, I don't know how big lol.
I am going to keep working on him, I am sure with enough coaxing (badgering) he will give in. When it comes to frogs, he knows I can be very stubborn.

[LilyPad]

What about feeding with dubias...would that work?

[bshmerlie]

Hmmm....would the landlord of an apartment building prefer crickets or roaches?

At least they would be quiet LOL

[DonLisk]

Ah, I wish. Fruit flies are easy as are the very small crickets but anything noisy or might invade the neighbors is going to not fly.

The viv is 18x18x24 Jenna

Well Don, it would depend on how you sell it to the landlord.

"Don't worry Sir I got rid of the crickets and got Roaches instead"
