Dyed Frog?

[poison]

I doubt somebody dyed the frog. Are his eyes red?

They do seem to be red! It is kind of hard to see, but his legs look much more like a classic albino frog while his body seems to be a different color. I would think disease, but he has been in a stable environment and seems very healthy.

Can't tell if your frog was dyed; but yes, both ACF and ADF are dyed and even tattooed . Both processes are painful and a health risk to animals and fish suffering them .

Yeah, I did a quick search on google and found that they do inject or dye the frogs and many don't live through the process. While I feel horrible about ignorantly contributing to this trade, I am at least glad to give an animal love, care, and a good home.

I just bought an ACF and the pet store also had "painted" frogs for more money. The lady who was working told me they hardly lived long and that she'd make sure I wouldn't get one because I got an Albino. It's hard to tell sometimes. Maybe call the pet store and ask them if they sell that variety?

[elliotulysses]

It was sadly, from a dollar store. It may be hard to find out exactly where they got their frogs. My goal was just to get them off the shelves and provide a good home for them.

He seems healthy, just a bit smaller. I feed both of my frogs reptomin and brine shrimp pellets. He seems to like the sinking shrimp pellets more, but that's all I've really noticed about him.
I think I have had them both for about a month now! Maybe a little less.

There are some more pictures in my albums if that helps anyone in ambiguity

Saw some albinos being sold at our local pet store and they were dyed. Saddens me
