    Thanks, Abran!

    Good to know who sells frogs other than the big box pet outfits. There's a pet store in Wilsonville which has Whites (they don't specify Aussie or Indo or if they are baby or adult) but they're asking basically $40 compared to Petco's $20 If they are healthy captive bred I imagine the extra cost is worth it, but still. Let me know if she carries CB Aussie Whites, rather than Indos, and if she can get the blue variety. That would be awesome

    If dealing with Petco; talk to them nicely and find out what day they receive frogs and when is their next White's shipment. Have them hold the frogs in their shipping container for you (prepay if necessary). That way there is no chance the White's you buy from them are exposed to any pathogens in the store enclosures .

    Still QT them and get fecals done; but you are starting out with less chance of any issues since breeders are usually careful about pathogens in their stock .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Do all the Petcos sell CB vs WC? I definitely would prefer to get one out of a shipping container... those tiny enclosures they have are nasty and don't look like they're cleaned up often

    Is there a service where you can mail in fecal samples and receive tests back? I don't think we have anything but mammal vets around here...

    ,
    The same pet store I mentioned does fecal testing. From the little info I got from her, she uses her reptile store to supplement her dragon rescue. I'll double check and ask when I go visit. I'll get back to you with her inventory, prices, and other services.
