My trip to petco

[GrifTheGreat]

I went on a trip to petco today. I learned that it's ok to keep firebelllie toads with barking,green,and whites frogs. Thats what they had on display. The staff told me its ok to keep them together cause the water filter cleans the toxins from the FBT and all the frogs are safe. The frogs were all the same size. I'm going crazy with stupidity. How tru is that guys?

Not safe. Toxic is toxic with or with out a filter. They don't know what they're talking about. The filter doesnt clean direct contact frog to toad

This is what you dealing with in the world of petco. The name is right when they picked petsmart because the staff isn't anything but smart.:d

Lol!!! It's all about the sale to those chain stores. You'd better get some knee highs cuz "it's" getting really deep!

I like to know who teaches this stuff to the staff. Its got to be management. They tell the staff to house all the frogs together.

are you gut loading the crickets before feeding or are you buying and feeding them. The cricket foods are to gut load the crickets.. You can buy a calcium/mineral vitamin powder to dust the crickets to give the frog vitamins. to make sure the frogs are getting the right nutrition

My pacs and pixies are not shy at all. They are not scared at all. I don't handle them at all. They are for display only in the beginning.

I've found that the less decoration in a pacman's tank the better. I know some people recommend hides, but mine is perfectly content to just burrow in dirt. I used to have a hide in his tank, but he just ignored it for three weeks, and it was taking up a lot of space, so it's not there anymore. He does have a fake aquarium plant in there, but that's more because I wanted some greenery than because he really seems to like it. Mainly, as long as they have a water bowl and dirt, they'll be happy.

Just a heads up for when you're deciding on species: Petco and Petsmart have a tendency to sell Cranwellis as Ornatas while they're still babies. I personally don't mind that I have a cranwelli, but if you really want the bright ornate colors be really careful picking out your frog

Yeah I totally agree with this, I would much rather pay for a frog $10-30 more than get a steal a large chain pet store. You bring the frog home, a month or two later the frog might have complications, etc. This is why you buy from renown reptile shops in your area or go to conventions with breeders that are reputable and house their herps with the utmost attention. Just a quick question, what other types of pacs do you guys breed? I found your youtube channel like a week ago and remembered your name from frogforum, I'll have to find it again and check out your videos.

We are currently working on a few projects aside from the cranwelli.
We do have a website as well if you'd like to take a look. It has links to the YouTube channel also. Thanks for taking a look & thanks for the compliment!!

I don't even get consistent advice from the staff! I'll be told one thing by one person, and the exact opposite by another. I've learned to get advice and information here instead!
