    Question Injured Frog :)

    Hi guys sorry if this is in the wrong place but I only really made this account to ask for some help!

    My mum found a frog yesterday and she 'thinks' she shut the door on its legs or something -_- Either way I moved it to the end of the garden since it seemed able to prop itself up on its front legs just fine (it's back legs are kind of immobile, only really moving when i prod them). This morning I went back to check and it hadn't moved at all so I've relocated it to a brush by our door for cover on some damp soil..and he's kind of moving around and croaking..Not sure what to do...

    Take a picture of the frog so we can identify it.
    Ask your Mum for a clean plastic bin that you can use and line the bottom with paper towels that are moistened with bottled water and if you keep
    fish use treated tap water. ( better)
    make some 4to 5 mm holes in the lid so it can get fresh air.

    place the bin in an area where it is quiet and not too warm or cold. around 22c
    and please send a photo of the frog and a close up of the legs.

    OK so I put it in a plastic tub (was the best I could do lol) with moist paper towels and he's still just sitting there although he moves sometimes? Name:  WP_20140303_001.jpg

    does the frog move it hind legs at all?
    of so that is a good sign.
    if not that is a sign of a spinal injury.

    the right leg looks like it might have a fracture.

    It moves them sort of but it looks like it's more unconscious movement than anything..like if I poke its leg it'll twitch and kick out for example. I've not seen it actually use it's back legs to hop around or anything.

    Edit: I just checked on him and the left leg seems to look pretty normal now, as compared to earlier. It's all tucked in properly and he's chilling under some leaves I put in the tub with him. Still doesn't hop on it though :/
