Feeding my new frog

[Jace]

These little frogs can eat quite a bit and gain quite the little Buddha belly after their feedings! PCF look so cute with their chubby bellies and it shows that you have a healthy frog. Being WC, she might not have been able to find such plentiful food on a regular basis and is taking full advantage! My male PCF, Yoki, will eat quite a few crickets at each feeding, but he lets me know when he has enough; yours will too. Do you plan on keeping the little one or letting it go? She is definitely a beauty!!

Hi Jo-Anna!

She is really lovely, my new girl. She's much greener than my previous frog and more lively, too. I guess I'm just feeling ethically challenged at the moment about keeping her. PCFs are plentiful in my area and she does seem on the slender side, especially compared to my previous frog. I just don't know yet if I'm doing the right thing by keeping her of if I am just being selfish... :/

While I try my best to get captive bred whenever and wherever possible, PCF seem to be quite plentiful and are not considered endangered, threatened or anything (at least as far as I know), so I don't honestly think there is much harm if you kept this little one. Besides, we all know you will spoil her rotten, and who doesn't want that for any and all frogs we come across? It sounds like you are already quite taken with her, and I think she would be a very lucky frog to have you take care of her. Accept her, guilt free!! So, the main question is....what is her new name?? Don't tell me you haven't been thinking about one....

It took my husband and daughter all of about three minutes to come to the conclusion that she should be named Midori.

All our pets seem to end up with some sort of variation on a Japanese name - probably because my daughter is so into Anime. Our cats are named Muromi, Pucci Kuma, and Nekai. So go figure that the name would end up being the Japanese word for "green." Tripod was the only non-Asian named pet - although I bet if they could have figured out the Japanese word for three-legged, that would have been it.

Great name choice!! I like Japanese and African names myself. So, now that she has a name I guess that makes it official, eh? Congrats on your new addition and I hope to hear updates on how Midori is doing!
