Guess who's back? I was off on a hiatus after my PCF, Lily died. Simply too heartbroken to even consider a frog website.
She was killed by my parent being stupid, I left for 3 days, and although she was fed, no one made sure she had water. She dried up. I feel like a monster. This was a while ago, early August. After I lost her, my dad offered to get another frog as a replacement, but Lily couldn't be replaced and I didn't want another amphibian, because if someone forgot it- it would die. I never forget them, but my family isn't quite as on top of things, and sadly a life was lost because of it. I ended up with a beautiful Kenyan Sand Boa, who is growing quickly and thriving.
But, yesterday another frog happened upon me. I heard a weird sound downstairs, and thought it was one of my mice in trouble. They were fine, sleeping and unharmed, so I went back upstairs. Later, came back down to feed the mice, and my cat was watching something along the wall. I thought it was probably a spider and went to check it out, only to find a very scared and weak PCF sitting there, on my carpet. Dehydrated, weak, looked skinny, and was very red along the hind legs. I don't know where he came from. I cleaned him up, set up a kritter keeper for him, and hoped for the best. Today he looks great, and has been singing quite pleasantly. It's snowing outside, so I don't think I can release him, and so here he'll stay. He doesn't seem to mind.
And a quick question, can frogs eat freeze dried crickets as a staple? Since I have one PCF, I cannot use 250 pinheads a month, but I also can't justify buying 2$ a dozen pinheads at the pet store. There has to be a better option for feeding this guy. If not I'll order the pinheads and feed them to all of my critters, LOL.
That same stupid pet store charged 7 bucks for a box of 3 pinkies which I can buy online for 16 cents a peice. >.<
