It's a great idea. We could also add a link to the thread when welcoming new members. Might sound like a harsh, Hi and welcome to Frog Forum, but being proactive could save some frogs.

I don't think "You're killing your frogs" is the best way to welcome people. How about just the basic care of a frog attached to the welcome post.

I personally would still add a carefully worded intro saying "lately, there's been a lot of death.... if you have any question or if we can help you in any way...." sort of way. 24 hours can make a difference in the life of a frog.

Similar to those warning messages we have in instances of heat waves or storm seasons....

Yeah well....wait until summer hits. You're going to have a rash of people cooking their frogs because the heat catches them off guard. That's why I made that post awhile back. So people start turning off the heatmats before its too late.

I am thankful to this site. I got my daughter her whites tree frog, asked petco all the questions and did research at home and still was wrong on so many things. We are soon to get him a bigger tank it is to small but he is only 2 1/2 inces and is ok at this point. We are talking about what we want to do with his tank and if we want to get him a friend. I told my husband and he agreed we are going to be asking lots of questions from you guys first. I think this post was needed.

This is great feedback. Education is the best way of improving husbandry. And being willing to learn and improve is also of key.
