There is no cure. YOU HAVE FROG ADDICTION!!! The only way to hold it back or get a fix is to buy more frogs. Its a serious ailment that all of us here seem to be fighting very unsuccessfully. Like we're really trying to fight it anyway Lol!

I doubt that there's a twelve step program... I wouldn't join anyway, I love my addiction!!

yeah... I got another one ( baby ornate) today :lol: will post pics a bit later, the dude went for my finger the moment i opened the lid on his tub, and ate 5 crickets from a thongs right after i put him in his tank. looks like I won't have feeding problems with that one.
actually i feel a bit better now and promised myself no more frogs anytime soon :lol: just waxy next week and that will be it for now, until next show :lol:

Lija you really are in trouble right now. I can see you with 50 frogs in the house and they all are eating fancy horn worm, fat crawlers, and roaches but you've been living off eating top ramen for the past 5 months....

Go swim in a scummy pond and eat a cupcake while doing so.

There's really no way to stop adding to the collection... You could try my solution (be warned: its only a temporary one)... RUN OUT OF SPACE!

Honestly, I started with 1 Dendrobates leucomelas almost a year ago... 11 months later, I have added 43 more frogs to the collection

I am at a point now where my grow-out tanks for froglets are on the floor in front of my rack... I am waiting for 4 more frogs to show up next month from Understory Enterprises and have about 20 tadpoles in the water...

I only have dart frogs at the moment... Once I have an entire room dedicated to frogs, I'm planning on getting a bunch of different types of tree frogs and an African bullfrog...

Haha! All it takes is that first one...those cute little eyes and variations of color and soon you just want a whole rainbow .

[toxxxickitten]

LOL. I don't think there is a way to stop besides just STOP yourself. I know it's hard! I'm quite addicted too and keep planning on the next one I'm getting. I find it fun buying everything for the frog(s) and getting it all set up. All my frogs are in my room and I like having nice display cages for all of them. It's like a mini-zoo in my room. haha! My recent additions were 3 FBTs, which I haven't gotten pictures of, yet. I think I'll get some today to share.

Siiiiiiiiiiigh. As those pretty colors! And pretty patterns! They look up at you with those big eyes and blink blink at you... and next thing you know there is another frog at home!

(Siiiiiiiiiiigh. All those pretty colors! And pretty patterns! They look up at you with those big eyes and <i>blink blink</i> at you... and next thing you know there is another frog at home! )

Haha! I went from one to 10 in less than a year!

[GrifTheGreat]

Yeah, we're up to eight now. Jerrod still wants an Aurita. And there is a sad little guy at the pet store who needs a good home...

[Wicked frogs]

It's like heroin or meth you will suffer the rest of your life... No offense.....

[Lija]

Dear fellow frogoholics, how many frogs do you think each of us will have in a year time..... need a bigger house, bad....

I try not to think about that! I have noticed that there is an alarming acceleration of the rate of frog adoption in my home! Every time the period in between gets shorter and shorter. And Shorter. We are definitely out of room in our appartment. When we get a house, the adoption rate is going to EXPLODE! Lol!
