Please help me with my new frog!

At work when we receive our house plants I often find a store away, 7 to be exact. This last one came from Florida traveling 5 to 7 days in a refrigerated truck. I don't know really what it is or how I should care for it. If you have any words of advice I would love to hear from you.

Go out and buy some Unflavored Pedialyte and prepare a bath no deeper than up to the frog's chin of de-chlorinated water and Pedialyte at a 10 to 1 ratio so for every 10 ounces of de-chlorinated water add 1 ounce Unflavored Pedialyte. Soak for 20 minutes and be sure the water is luke warm.

I can't get a good look at the frog from the pic so I can't determine species.

It looks like some kind of treefrog, but without pictures from other angles its hard to tell. It appears to have a stripey sort of pattern on it's back, which makes Cuban, Cope's Gray, Pine Woods, or Bird Voiced most likely. Check out: Identifying Florida's Treefrogs and please get back to us.

A few days at the temperatures that won't kill off a typical house plant will also likely not be a major issue for a Florida treefrog, but it was likely lethargic when removed from the truck. Dehydration is also probably not a big concern either, a truck full of plants is humidity city.

The frog doesn't look dehydrated at all. I'm suggesting the Pedialyte bath for a boost. Should revive the frog and provide energy.

If the frog is alert, willing to eat normally, and otherwise healthy I wouldn't bother with pedialyte. Which of course raises the question- is the frog alert, willing to eat normally, and otherwise healthy?

Good point. Hopefully the OP will get back to us with an answer.
