    i know i didnt know that those RES and frogs are in chlorinated water because i bought them early and still alive(maybe new delivered?)and after a couple of hours i gave the RES to my mom and it is still active then i bought another 2 and the other two died, so now i rescued 1 RES and he seems to be happy now.i didnt really know that they're eyes suddenly shut down as if dying and opened mouth with some infection and the frogs backstroking then died a couple of hours

    Ah. It makes me sick when pet stores commit such atrocious acts. I'm always like when I hear of cruelty such as this. People need to realize that these are living, feeling things, not objects that provide money.

    It's also sad how they could not even spend the minimal time and effort to use dechlorinated water or dechlorinate the water.
    My Amphibians:
    1.0.0 Rana Catesbiana (Bumpy Digtoad )
    1.0.0 Pseudacris Regilla (Levi )
    1.1.0 Ambystoma Macrodactylum (Urtham and Gargan )
    2.2.0 Bombina Orientalis ( Rosa, Sasha, Aleksis, and Dimitri )

    Rest in Peace, Gnag the Nameless, Chrome, and Thermidor

    Pet stores are notorious for trying to sell people meal worms to feed pac's. When I got mine the guy offered me meal worms and I politely said no thank you I won't be feeding him meal worms they can cause impaction, and the guy flipped out on me

    yeah in the pet shop i never saw a poop or anything because it was impacted of mealworms(they literally feed all their amphibians mealworms) so i wouldnt buy it , the pet store tricks you most of the time.But they also offered me crickets(Diff.Shop) so i bought some for my cane toad and fire bellies.Just need a research will do the trick.
