    Exclamation Found little green tree frog hurt

    Hi guys,

    So this is probably going to already be controversial and that's fine but please at least be helpful if you have anything to say at all. I found a little green tree frog under our car today while heading home from Wal*Mart. It's a hot day and this little guy was sitting in a puddle in the shade. I was just going to move him to a tree, or something, so he wouldn't be backed over with the tire. He apparently already was run over once. His front arm skin is broken away from his side and belly, a finger is broken sideways but still connected, a few skin cuts to his back legs and back. However!, he can still jump, not climb well at all but still "walk" around, and is breathing and knows to try and get away from me. (A predator) I have him home now in an aquarium with two young crested geckos, about 4 months old. A couple of hours have passed already and no one has moved on anyone. I have crickets galore in there, and of course a water pool (currently where the TF is) and many vines and leafs. My questions are as follows:

    Can they co-live together in that 10gal tank for now while the TF heals?
    Can I heal his wounds well enough to be released?
    Considering the damage and shock, what are his chances of living?
    If I'm prolonging his ultimate demise should I just try to quickly euthanize him? :,(

    I've not had a tree frog pet before, but I love them. I want him back in the wild preferable in my front yard. I don't do well with chat forums so I'll be checking mostly today but not like every hour or anything. Thank you all for your input.

    It sounds pretty gruesome. I think if you really want to help it you should take it to a vet. Secondly, you should put it into a different place like a 5 Gallon bucket or storage bin for now because it probably has worms from being wild. It sounds very bad for the frog but if you let it soak and take it to a vet it would be all you can do for it.

    Seconding the suggestion to not put it in with your other animals. I'm sorry, there's not a whole lot that can be done. You can apply iodine or non-painkilling neosporin to open wounds to prevent infection but it might stress him out further. The same thing goes for trying to splint his broken bones. He might damage himself trying to get away.
