    I agree with Don. As he said this frog will need constant care. I am like him and would try to care for and save the frog. Try and keep stress down and keep him warm. Humidity is neede to help prevent dehydration. He won't be able to stay in water because his hind legs not working can cause him to drown. Also the water will become cool and he may go into hypothermic shock which will also kill him.

    If you deside to keep and care for him there are many experianced keepers here that can try and advise you as Don is doing.

    He has more of a chance for survival with your help.

    Oh, I'm so sorry.
    It can't hurt to try in spite of his injuries.
    Follow all Don's instructions and advice on quarantine quarters for him!
    You will need to be persistent. We would really like to know how he makes out.
