    This is a practice that shouldn't be tolerated. Let the store know that you disapprove and tell everyone you know not to buy them. It harms the frog and it's not natural.

    heres a story regarding this topic for you. Theres this local pet shop that i used to go to because it was closer to my house. well one day i went to get some things for my firebellys and my pacman. i went over to where they have box of crickets and the fish and i seen these frogs in a tank with fish. they were colored. i asked the employee what kinda frogs they were. and there response was i dont know!!! his response was i dont know, let me ask the guy who does the ordering. i have two african dwarf frogs and they looked a little similiar but alot bigger and more body mass. so i asked the manager hey are those african clawed frogs and why are they colored like that? that cant be natural. the manger couldnt even tell me what type of fog it was. after a few moments of me telling the manager what i believed he had and what his natural living conditions were, the guy who does the ordering came out. So i spoke with him about the coloring and the species. his only response was when i order they just say Frog in the aquatic section so i dont know what it is. jeesh i can go on a rant that will never end so needless to say i no longer give these morons any of my money. just goes to show you some people shouldnt have certain responsabilities at pet shops nor should some people even own pet shops!!!
