Lol, so true! My six year old daughter is very particular about what we do for the pets, too. She is helping me set up our 55 gal long aquarium for our Leopard Frog Tadpoles. She had to have the exact plants she picked out for our land side of their tank, lol. Isn't amazing how intuitive they can be about their pets though. Even for children so young they still realize that their frogs need to swim and make sure mom and dad meet the froggy's needs! I am guessing your sons frog is wild caught, have you looked up the local frogs in you area. That's always a good place to start when trying to ID any locally found frogs. I will look them up too and see if I can take a guess at him. But you know your frog better than I so you will have the best luck figuring him out. Good luck with him. Frogs are fun pets! we will have 5 when my tads arrive in the next few days.
