    I hope he makes it best of luck, hopper!

    I am sorry, I cannot sugarcoat this for you - I must be brutally honest: Always put your frogs before yourself. If you've no food for them, go outside and get earthworms. If you're too lazy to get crickets from the store or even earthworms from outside, you shouldn't be owning frogs. I once had to dig through my compost bin, all the way to the bottom, to find earthworms for my frogs. Oh, and I had to do it in the dark, with only a weak flashlight. It wasn't fun, wasn't easy, and it was spooky too, but I wasn't going to let my frogs starve. That's the kind of dedication a frog owner should have to his/her frogs.

    If you simply forgot about the frog... I have no idea how you'd do that. I can't not think about my frogs for even 2 hours, even if I'm at school doing a test, on the computer playing a game, doing anything anywhere. Not once have I forgotten about my frogs for over 2 hours, and if you can forget about them for a week, once again, unless you really change your ways, you shouldn't be owning frogs.


    Once again, I really hope your frog makes it. And I beg of you, no matter if he does or doesn't, never let something like this happen again.
    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
