  1. I've got more photo's of the tank in my albums.
  2. I type a lot too... I talk a lot as well
    Gnag is an American Bullfroglet. I'm not sure about Bumpy, she's smaller, has a narrower nose, and is more skittish. She's probably a Bullfroglet, but she might actually be a Green frog, but even if she is, they've been living together fine. They are both W/C [We caught her, in fact, on my birthday. Where I am, you're supposed to kill any Green frogs or Bullfrogs you catch since they are invasive, but I decided to keep Gnag and Bumpy. Me and my friend go "herping" (frog catching) a lot, and we always let them go, but on my birthday I decided to keep Gnag and Bumpy.] They both croak a lot, eat a ton, and are growing quite rapidly. Here's a picture of the tank. It's rarely this bright in the room
    I only made it brighter for the photo.
  3. I got that problem too. No worries. I spoke up a bit too, as well.

    I always keep a close eye on my frogs, despite how clean I keep the water and habitat. Better safe then sorry, eh? My frogs are in my room, so it's easy to regulate temperature, noise and such. And I like to watch my frogs at night, whether they're hunting, swimming, or croaking. The croaking is great, as long as you aren't trying to get any sleep!

    Yeah, I get laughed at sometimes at school for how much I care for my frogs, but those people have no right to judge. At least I'm caring for animals and doing something constructive and creative, whilst those who laugh at me are usually off playing video games like Call of Duty.
  4. I figured out what happened....I type to much LOL!


    What kind of frog is Gnag? My guys are all whites. I am embarrassed to admit that I did everything wrong when I got them. I bought the tank and the frogs on the same day. Luckily I found this website right away and bought a lot of books and I'm still learning about them 7 months later! My only problem is that I've given up on ever going on vacation for longer than a day. I don't know anyone that would be able to feed them plus I couldn't trust anyone! I won't even let my boyfriend feed them when I work late.
  5. Ugh, I typed a whole message to you but it disappeared! Sorry if it shows up and I repeat myself. I noticed once I said something other people couldn't keep quiet either, I'm grateful other people spoke up.

    I know what you mean though, I can't go more than a few hours without seeing my frogs. They are in our game room and if I am watching tv in the living room I have to go check on them during commercial breaks! I never thought I would be obsessed about frogs and lizards. I'm lucky because I work right by my house so I'm home every few hours to check on them. I am crazy about spot cleaning and changing the water. I had fish for 20 years and I'll tell you, I'll take the daily maintenance of a frog tank any day!

    I hate when people say negative stuff to us about our frogs. I couldn't get away with telling someone they were crazy for having kids. Can you imagine saying to someone "You're taking your kid to the doctor? But he only has a cough!" ?
  6. I finally couldn't hold it in. Go take a look at my post. I've refrained from being rude, but I have been brutally honest.

  7. Also, that was the same person who said to me: "Why does it need a tank? It's just a frog, a bucket would be fine."

    I've already begun to assemble my Frog First Aid kit, even though I've only had frogs for a short time, and also I'm doing regular water changes to keep their water clean. Which brings me to my point: To own frogs, you have to really care for them, and feel affection for them. Otherwise, you shouldn't be owning any amphibians or reptiles at all.
  8. I don't blame you for getting mad. Here's a similar story I'd like to share you to show how heartless and ignorant people can be towards frogs:

    About a week or two ago, I thought Gnag had eaten a rock when I was watching her hunt at night [She didn't actually but it looked like it. It must've been one of the larger crickets in her mouth] , and I was at school, talking about it the next day. Of course, I was very fearful and frightened for Gnag. Anyways, my friend who lives on a farm and knows a lot about animals told me the grim likelihood if she actually had eaten a rock, and that he was sorry. And then one of the people my friend invites to sit with us said: "It's just a frog, if it dies it dies."

    You have no idea how angry and upset that comment made me. So upset I left school early, because I nearly burst into tears in the middle of third block and I knew I would've started bawling my eyes out if I had stayed into fourth block. Also, I needed to see Gnag.
  9. I couldn't keep quite. When he said that his parents didn't think his frog needed to go to a vet, it pushed me over the edge! One of my first frogs got real sick and I wrestled with bringing it to the vet. I thought "it's just a frog" and people around me said the same thing. We OWE it to them to help keep them healthy and if taking it to the vet is what it needs then that's what we do. I'm not mad at him, I'm mad at his parents! People just don't understand the care that goes into frogs and lizzards. GRRRRRR.
  10. I forgot crickets too recently and the stores were getting dead shipments because of the freezing weather I rationed what I had left and let me tell you I will NEVER forget to have crickets again!
