I feed them...I take care of them....they do have names...they are my pets. No I don't dress them up in sweaters like some people do to there dogs...but they are still pets. I don't buy 30 frogs at a time of one species like you do but I suppose if I did I would also start labeling them group A and group B for breeding purposes. They probably do the same thing at puppy farms. I'm sure those breeders at the puppy mills don't consider them pets either.
