WE CAUGHT A FROG!!! How do we keep it alive??

[David Pinckney]

I’m so sorry that no one’s answered you yet. All frogs are strictly carnivorous, and most will eat anything that moves and can fit in their mouths. I’m not an expert or anything, but I’ve owned dozens of amphibians in the past. Most were store bought, but I also captured a few like you did. Sometimes that worked out, but other times it didn’t, and when you’ve already taken the animal away from it's indigenous range letting it go probably won’t work out either. What I used to do is take the animal to a few pet stores, and ask the people there questions about what it needs. Then I would acquire the materials, and follow the advice. I once caught two Arizona toads (Anaxyrus microscaphus) and they were very easy to care for, and lived for several years. I also once caught an American Bull frog, and that turned out to be a nightmare; I just wound up letting it go back to the lake.

Good luck, and have fun.
