Petco Temptation

[Crispy42]

Conditions weren't as bad as I've seen other places. There wasn't a humidity monitor in their tank so I couldn't verify that, but about half the substrate was moist so I'm guessing it wasn't too bad.

Also he's been there less than two weeks (at most) because that's when I was there last and there was only one brown WTF in the enclosure.

Hey Crispy42! Believe me, I know all about temptation... and sick frogs from Petco. As long as you know and understand what good frog husbandry is, and what it takes to care for one properly, then go ahead and take a chance on the little guy (or girl). My number one recommendation (other than following a proper QT) is FECAL TEST - FECAL TEST - FECAL TEST! I also recommend you find a local vet, if possible, who would be willing to run the test for you in house, or at an instate lab, as the fresher the test the better. Lots of nasties start to die off after a certain period out of the frog, some of them right away. The longer the sample has been out of the frog, even if under refrigeration, the greater chance of receiving a false-negative back.

I want to see pics too! Good luck!
