Can I give my frog my illness?

I've had this problem with guinie pigs, and mice before. Apparently our immune systems are similar enough for me to give them my flu/cold. (Which usually results in death.)

Could this happen to my frog? (I ask because I have a fever right now but I have to feed him tomorrow. Even if I wear gloves mice and other small mammals could still get it from my fever+breath.)

No. You can't give your frogs the flu or a cold.

I guess you're going to miss out on Manchester tomorrow, so sorry.

Yeah. Oh well. There's always next October. (During which I will have more time off anyway.)

Anyways. Okay. That is good. I would hate to give my frog a fever and kill him.

The spring show is more amphibian heavy than the fall show. On the plus side I think the Maine Herpetological Society has a show in August. See their site for information, there is a link for it on our links page.

Oh wow. *bookmarks* Ty! I will probably go to this.

I have never been myself, maybe I will go this year, just to check it out.
