Hopper is a BOY!!

I wish i had taken a picture on the day i got mine. Must have been 9-10 frogs in that tank. Maybe more! I'm not surprised that the people who work there don't know about frog care. Qualifications: do you know what a dog is? Can you operate a cash register? Then you are a pet expert!

Halfway to full size for a male is about 1.5-2 inches. My male was bigger than my female for a while but now she is larger.

Have you been dusting the crickets?

Wow! Hopper is lucky to have such a big tank! I have been trying to convince my parents for a bigger tank but for now, my poor babies are stuck in that cramped 18x18x18 .

One thing i have noticed is that it takes a really long time for the petco frogs to not run away every time you get close. My female is still really skittish even after more than a year. But it looks like someone has been doing something right! He even has all of his toes!

Yea, Pet store people don't have to be the most knowledgable.

There would have been NO way I could have had a frog when I lived with my parents. I was lucky to have a hamster. (Many many years ago) Being a grown up does have some advantages. Maybe save up your money and ask if you paid for it, if you could get a bigger one??

Hopper isn't scared. He doesn't run. He definitely doesn't want to be "contained" though. Once the big viv is done and Hopper is settled in, we will get more. For now though we are good.

I wake up this morning and Hopper is in the same spot he was in when i went to bed last night. The water dish is low on water and the paper towels are a LOT wet.. I start second guessing weather or not he can climb over the divide from where I feed him crickets to the rest of the tank. I pick im up and put him in his water dish (He felt dry and I worried) I leave, drink my coffee, do my morning routine, go back to check on him and he is BACK in the feeding area! Little SNOT! I put in 3 crickets (THEY WERE SMALL) in the dish, lean the dish to the side and wait. He turns around, looks at them, creeps over to the dish and STRIKES! He inhaled ALL 3 at once!!! So, I leave him be, get ready for my day and check on him before getting breakfast. He's moved back over to the hanging plant and is just chillin'. He WANTED breakfast!! LOL I am thinking I will have to feed him 2-3 at night and another 2 in the morning.. APPARENTLY he LIKES to eat twice a day. Maybe I should change his name to Chomper? Maybe Jaws?
