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

It can certainly be a hard choice. I do believe that wild animals should be free and with their own kind. There will always be instances when we have the opportunity to rescue and help them. For those instances, my opinion may differ. I would rescue any hurt, ailing, or lost animal if it were in my abilities to do so .

You've done a great job! See, it's the others that continually bring in wild animals, that I feel are not doing them a favor. If we all took in wild frogs, numbers would decline, and many would die due to improper housing, leading to illness. They would miss their opportunity to breed within their species, producing more little toads. You have taken the time to educate yourself, have kept him/her safe, and have given a nice home .

Though I do feel we should not take from nature, this is often a tough subject that can sometimes vary depending on circumstance.

Turns out Banjo is a girl, so I don't have to take him down to the pond when he starts calling and wait while he mates with someone. Yes, this is something I jokingly considered doing. I don't feel the same way about bringing a lady toad down there. I'd be plucking questionable toads off of her, scaring away suitors. That's my baby girl.
I brought home a perfectly healthy juvenile toad, who happened to be in the wrong place, so in keeping her, she HAS to stay that way. I knew I'd made a mistake, so being so careful not to make another. I agree, repeatedly bringing home outside animals is wrong. I did it as a kid, but I was more willing then to let them go. I didn't have the benefit of easy internet access to find out how to care for things. That's what this girl did. She looked to find out what she had and came to ask for help. I guess, on a forum (which I'm not used to), all we have are people's choices of words to quote and respond to, but we never got to find out what happened, because she stopped posting. I pm'ed to ask and maybe she'll get a notification, maybe not.
My experience does make me jump in on things I see a bit much.. I just hope that little frog is ok somewhere.

Got a reply, she's a nice girl, but you guys were right, the frog didn't make it. They did try. Set up a home and fed him crickets, etc. Here are some pics of Turtle:
What a beautiful frog. No, I don't know why the water was so low or if it was always like that. The point of these is just that he was a cutey.
Then here's the giant cricket their dad put in the tank that scared the girls (and probably turtle, too):
Other pics, I won't show. It's a shame, but I guess a lesson was learned. I hope so. Rest in peace, Turtle.
