Geez! Sorry about those girlfriends Paul, I am on disability and looking!!LOL
I know I am repeating myself, but I have plenty of these Gray's(12 for now), small ones and yes a deformed one as well!
I have found several deformed frogs around here, just the odds not the pollution, at night you can find....hundreds in my yard. I live in a lake community in Pa, the larger of the 3 lakes is across the street about 50 yards or less. There are lots of marshes and vernal pools just on my cul-de-sac! and only 4 houses due to this!
Anyway, the frogs I found deformed, much worse than UChester's, are fairly large and seem to be thriving! The one I found yesterday was a wood frog and his/her back right leg was completely webbed together!! Another in my pool has only 1 eye, and he's the pool stud!!! Here's a pic of "Jack", (I named after the one eyed Jack in a deck of cards) a Green frog, who's lived in my pool all summer. He "Boings" for days at a time and has invited about 20 plus females to join his harem! They hop out of the pool as the sun is going down and hunt around the yard at night, it's lots of fun having them around, especially with our 10 lb dogs!! Don't worry the dogs are frightened of the frogs!! LOL
I would take it in, but as it sounds it's not only me with that advice and that "soft-spot" for the sick and injured. Judging by the size, it's close to the size of my Gray's and mine left the pool in July! The ones outside are only slightly smaller and not as chubby, if that helps to judge the age.
I am feeding them every other day and they eat between 3-4 small/medium crickets. I noticed, with the every day feedings, on the odd day they weren't interested, so that's why I tried every other and it's working very well. I also give them wax worms, but unless they are wiggling like crazy they ignore them. Every once and a while a fly or ff gets into their tank and they grab it, with the way the bugs are around here, and lack of bats, I'd like to train them to hang on the ceiling, etc. and catch them in the house...I loath bugs, but oddly am fine with the feeder kind!!
When I took Baby and Tiny in I really thought there wasn't much hope, but after Tiny died, I left Baby alone and filled the tank with ff 24/7 and he/she began to thrive. I found another little Gray, about Baby's size, that has a right back leg deformity too. The leg doesn't fold up to his/her body, is thinner than the left and the foot seems to have less toes or maybe toes connected together. Here's 2 pics of Mr. Hoppy, notice the right leg.
I am glad you've decided on keeping the Gray and I am sure he/she will be too!
BTW..your pics are unbelievable, I need a new camera. I take lots of nature pics..deer, frogs(a given), bear(BIG ONES 850 pounders), Bald eagles, turkey, etc., this area is great for people who like animals, the community is surrounded by thousands of acres of state forests with lots of, 157 to be accurate, glacial lakes, natural springsand the Delaware is only a few miles away.
Best of luck with your new frog, post lots of pics, I love my Gray Tree froglets!!
What kind of camera do you have?
