My first frog! (common gray)

[LilyPad]

im not trying to be a downer but (s)he might have a family parasites or something else just think about his needs can you care for a wild frog it might not eat and did in the wild (s)he will est so if it was me i would let him go and buy a captive bred one and let him go where you found him but be hoppy

I typically agree with that sentiment. Here in Wisconsin though, it is illegal to buy or sell grey tree frogs. It is legal to collect them with a fishing license and possess up to 5 at a time. That's mostly to prevent them being caught and sold as fishing bait. We have an abundance of them here in SE Wisconsin and their numbers are not currently in any danger here. I am okay with someone who is willing to learn about them and care for them properly. I am NOT okay with the bait shops that collect them by the hundreds and sell them to fishermen. I didn't catch any of my grey tree frogs, but they were all taken from the wild (and one from a basement) by others and eventually given to me.

Fecal testing would be a good idea though, especially if you want to own other frogs in the future, you do not want to accidentally pass anything between tanks.
