I found if I put my hand in a claw shape over them they don't move and you can scoop them up.
\Maybe that's because they're used to me and aren't bothered by me in the slightest unless I make a big sudden move even then though just do little jump outta my way. Jabba is really tame I can just prop her front end up with a finger and she then walks onto my hand and will sit there perfectly fine.

He was using a fish net. Was totally thinking at the time that he'd be better off using his hands, which is what I do (Obviously I cool them down with water first). The babies are a bit more jumpy for me, but once they're on my hand they're still until I put them where I need them to be.

I went to Animates for the first time ever yesterday.

I had a look at the tadpoles there was Brown Tree froglets in a big tank one was sat on the edge of the bowl but when it saw me it jumped back into the water with all the others. Their set up was a bit bland it needed way more vegetation but I suppose atleast they had the basics (the best shop set up I've seen is in Pet Planet Dunedin it's a ginourmous log in the middle with rocks sticking out of about 8inches of water with water plants and a water filter. The Brown tree frogs in it were fat and looked in great shape).

Then there was a big tank of all 3 species we can keep the first thing I noticed was a dead southern bell frog tadpole on the bottom then I looked closer and saw a dead brown tree frog tadpole with half it's tail eaten floating and 3 tadpoles with their back legs, they were sat next to each other with bent backs the brown tree frog tadpole had a hunched back and was breathing but not moving and it's tail was bent in two places. The other two were GAGB tadpoles and had tails bent in 3 places a hunched back and were on their backs but breathing. There was also a Southern bell frog tadpole I thought was dead but after a couple of mins it very slowly swam on its back up to the surface then sank back down. Maybe shops aren't the greatest place for frogs. I was going to rescue some tadpoles but thought better of it as they would most likely die as most were in poor condition and only about 10 were in good shape I also have nowhere to put them atm.

On a positive note there was an adorable pomeranian x shetland sheep dog puppy at the shop.
