Introducing myself and frog

[Brian]

Tadpole,
Sorry to hear about your loss of frogs, 50 degrees does seem a bit cold. I keep chubby in shallow water year round, just enough to keep him covered. I change the water 1-2 times a week while he is eating. Come winter time (he stops feeding) I change the water every other week. In the winter he does form a mucus that coats him, but it say soft and I quess the word I would use is snotty.. I have read that during the dry season they do surive it, by forming a "mucus shell". Now I have no clue if my way of taking care of him is the "correct way", but 14 years later he is doing great. Chubby has a limited diet. Mostly worms and some other insect, grasshopers, crickets etc that I find around the yard. He does get goldfish to eat sometimes. I have always just feed him live food. I didn't know they would eat raw beef. Chubby eats about evreyother day. That is about the extent of his care. Oh and Chubby sings often in the summer. I think he is looking for love. Good luck w/ your new frogs. If you have any other questions, please ask, I can at least tell you what I do, w/ chubby.

Today Chubby has passed on to frog heaven. 18 1/2 years old. I will miss his singing on those summer nights.

Sorry about your loss, 18 1/2 years is along time. If he lived that long at least you know he was happy and enjoying his life, and you were doing all the right things.

Very sorry for Chubby's death Brian ! Think he lived a long nice life with you. Recommend once you get over mourning, get another one. Mine is young, probably a year or so male called Prince. Originally was Princess; but nuptial pads are in clear view now .
