Runaway frog?

timkai787 · April 5th, 2012

Yesterday, I asked someone to help me remove my Chinese edible frog (Hoplobatrachus rugulosus) from his container for a picture. However, the little critter (measuring about an inch long) used the opportunity to hop to freedom. We tried to chase the little guy throughout the small garden enclosure, but to no avail. He's now living in the wild, and I'm afraid if he will be able to survive on his own. The temperature is now at a scorching 30 degrees Celsius. Does he have a chance of survival and mature into an adult frog? Thanks.

If you think he is near the same place you lost him I would place a lot of bowls of water around the garden and see if you can catch him that way. If the frog isn't from around there chances are he won't make it but this is not always true. Good luck I hope you find you little buddy!
