Yes it is frowned upon in a hobby for one reason only, wild animals as i said deserve to be wild. In Alberta, where i live it is illegal to keep native species, and i think these regulations should be everywhere. Buying captive bred animals you are receiving more adapted to live in captivity animals, healthier too. This way you also support the hobby and maintaining wild population where it belongs.

However if you still choose to keep such an animal, first thing you need to do is to find a vet who works with frogs. Then set up very strict quarantine enclosure, wear gloves every time, wash everything separately, disinfect everything every day.

You will need to get a frog tested immediately for chytrid, ranavirus and parasites and get them treated accordingly. Keep in mind it is illegal, as my american friends were saying, to release a frogs back in a wild. So if you decide to keep it you cant change your mind.
