    Yeah, the bullfrog is still super skinny though. I don't know what's going on with him, I've been having to force feed him but he does swallow 2/3 waxworms a day. Could he have a parasite possibly? I was gonna let him go but I want to make sure he's healthy. I'll post pictures as soon as he'll sit still lol.

    It's possible, though plenty of things can stop a frog from eating. If you think a parasite is likely, you can apparently buy Panacur-C for dogs and coat the feeders in it as described in this thread. I have never tried this method myself and I'm not sure of the effect it can have on a wild caught animal, but I wanted to hand over the information in case you might want to consider that route.

    Okay.

    Yall know about my three legged frog of course. (By the way, she’s doing great and her name is now Alphais!)

    So today I was going about my business, checking the pool filters and I saw a big frog in there.
    So naturally I reach down and grab her. Pulling this massive, enraged froggo outta the pool was an effort lol!

    And when I get a closer look at her...

    So now i guess I’m stuck with this guy too XD
    I’m sitting here laughing at my crazy luck.. Oh man haha at least I don’t have any other pets!

    Don’t worry, I’m quarantining her and all that before I introduce her to Alli. It’ll be like looking in a mirror lol

    So that’s my situation right now, got a new froggo i guess :P

    Glad to see folk rescuing these little ones! I rescued Lydia as well, tho in a different way. (She was being swept away in flash flooding during a mighty storm we had and I scooped her up when I saw a little tiny creature struggling to escape the currents. She decided she wanted to stay with us.

    Awesome! I named the new frog Henry but unfortunately i didn't have him for long. He started having seizures so i took him to the wildlife rehab center. Al has started to have swelling in her stump and theres a clear bubble of skin on the same leg, any ideas on what this could be? Poor froggy!! She doesn't have any external injuries.
