So the saga continues...

Turns out the frogs came from a kindergarten, who had taken the educational-but-thoughtless step of having tadpoles in the classroom for the children to observe. Once they finished the metamorphosis, out they went. I'm not sure if the seller is selling on behalf of the kindergarten and has been "frog-sitting" until they sold, or if they bought/got them from the kindy, took them home for a few weeks and discovered it was too time-consuming, and are now on-selling from there.

Anyway, I was right - the frogs are only about 14 weeks old, 1-2cm long (less than an inch). They've had a varied insect diet, but no vitamins. Seems like there may be a couple of L. ewingii in there as well as the L. aurea.

There are a couple of bidders, at least one of whom already has frogs, but I have no idea if that means "experience in amphibian husbandry" or "I bought some frogs and put them in a tank". (I'm worried it's the latter, as there was a comment about "We already have 3 frogs, and want to move them to a bigger enclosure" - in an Exo Terra MINI?!? I... Wait - what?)

So I'll see how the auction goes, but don't hold a lot of high hopes for the well-being of these little guys. C'est la vie, I suppose...
