Can you guess what I got?

Thats great ,you don't have to pay for them. Thats how it should be. Frogs are free and you go out in the field and collect the little guys.Lets say if i lived in Costa Rica, i would of had lots of pets.lol. Here in NYC theres nothing left but pests,rats,mice,roaches(the nasty one's),and pigeons. Autumn you are blessed with gifts from the land. The animals don't have to suffer from commercial collectors,and then the seller keeps them in cramped tanks. Anyway my Little guys are doing great, as the sellers would say well started. All due respect I'm not knocking any body. If it wasn't for the vendors we would have nothing. Theres alot of good people in the industry and all i can say so far I'm very lucky. I picked up some nice healthy frogs. So far no issues.

Lololol, yeah I will !!! Yes, most definitely….patience is the essential ingredient in catching wood frogs lol. No, I actually couldn’t get them tested for the chytrid fungus, mostly because there are a lot of expensive tests involved. I did help a graduate student from the University of Oregon though gather samples from wild Wood frogs to test for the chytrid fungus. I asked her if there was a small scale, yet reliable way to test my Wood frogs….she said there was but it would require a high knowledge as to what the disease looked like via a microscope. Instead, I just individually quarantined the frogs in separate containers and monitored them for disease for about a month and a half.

Good job, well it worked out so far and now you get to enjoy them. Keep us updated on your further studies.

I agree with you George ! I know, sometimes the collecters don't care about the animals....just about the money. I hate it when I see a 5 gallon tank cramed full of 10 0r 15 frogs! Makes me angry and sad (and then I want to go save all those poor little guys). Good to hear that your buddies are doing great! Oh and did your toad start to eat yet?

He is in down time in his new home. I'm trying to get him to calm down. I'm goin to feed him today with roaches

[frogluver]

Hopefully he gets comfortable with his new surroundings and eats those roaches !!!

[BG]

Everybody is cooperating with the program ,and that makes me a happy camper. They all ate there crickets and roaches and meal worms. Not including maximus. There temp is 82, and humidity is 65. No heater, no mists. The soil stays damp. The room they are in is controlled. I'll tell you, the warmer the Temp the more hungry they all get . I noticed that from tads to turtles.

[frogluver]

Haha you don't say! Lol, in the past few days, my Wood frogs have had an increase in hunger and I couldn't figure out why.....it's also been warmer in the house.

Does the full moon affect there appetite.

[frogluver]

Ooo, that’s a good question! I couldn’t say, but that would be something to look into. I would be very interested in finding out. There was a full moon at the beginning of the week.
