So what I think has happened is that you got unhealthy frogs and from bringing them home stressed them out enough to tip them over the edge but if they were healthy frogs they would have been fine. The best thing to do is buy them from a breeder or a reputable pet store that specializes in amphibians but don't allow this experience to put you off them.
Yea, i have been able to keep everything from fish to children alive so far if we do get another it will certainly be from a breeder. i do not want to blame petco, i just dont know whats going on. both died at about 2 weeks after purchase.
