Taking in wild frogs.

All wise points to consider UncleChester! We acquired our "Buntah" a little over three years ago as a rescue/find. No injuries, but in a very dangerous location for her. She was trying to hide (and not doing a very good job of it) in a small space of grass between a busy street, a busy parking lot and a highly frequented spot by dogs - our included. At the time, we felt we were doing the right thing for her. Our intent was to relocate her to a safer place or even nature conservatory. As it turned out, re-releasing her was illegal and the conservatory wouldn't take her. Our only options at that point were to turn her over to a pet store where she would become snake food, or adopt her into our family. Turning her into snake food was NOT an option for us. She is now part of the family - boy is she ever! I appreciate your article, because in the very beginning we were ill equipped in knowledge or appropriate supplies to care for an amphibian find. We quickly came up to speed because we fell in love with her, but those first few days were stressful for all of us. Did we really rescue her? We may never really know for one hundred percent certain, but it truly seemed she was in a dire predicament had no SAFE way out of where she was. It was imminent death by dog or car squashing if we left her there. Our story turned out well I think. If you knew her situation now, you might think they never was a more loved, better cared for, even spoiled little Toad.
