It is highly unlikely you will have to test any of them. The more quickly you release them the better. Keep in mind ...each adult frog will need 10 gallons or more of space to house properly!

The best way to get accurate information regarding this is to call you local conservation. ( link below )
They will also be able to assist you in the proper way and area in which to release them.

I have followed, very closely, the conservation and protection of the Gray Tree Frog - Hyla versicolor in the Catskills (NY). I have personally had NY state conservation on our property in the Catskills where they breed is a bog area there. This species, in fact any species, should not be removed from it's natural habitat! In my life, I have held 1000s of froglets ( in July - Aug) I have witnessed 1000s of tads in late spring. They are so plentiful I have to be careful where I walk on the bank of the boggy area when are making their way from the water. Please be aware of what an important species they are to the US. They are our little chameleons !

Nothing has taught me more about how impossible it is to replicate a captive bred frog's diet then knowing intimately the choices of feeders these little jewels have to choose from in their natural habitat.

it was my understanding that only certain African species are naturally immune to Chytrid, but you are right. She should ask her local conservation group about what diseases she should or should not test for as they would know better than most of us. Because they will only have a chance in the wild if they are tested and treated for the right things for their species. She should also know to plan on at least 10 gallons for each frog she keeps as a pet.
