My FBTs are imposters!!!

[Fae]

My mom just confessed to me that when I was gone to Arkansas she left my FBT tank open and they all escaped. She never found them, so she went to PetSmart and bought all new ones

[John]

You need to bring that mom back to the store and get it replaced. Joke. I would not be happy with my mother if that happened to me though.

[Fae]

Oh believe me I'm not happy and will never trust her to look after my babies again.

[artes]

0_0 That's awful! I'm so sorry. Is there a Mom-Smart where you can buy a new one? >_>

[Fae]

Lol unfortunately no

[clownonfire]

Rita, that's awful! My goodness. What a story.... Now tell her because of the emotional scars you need 5 Phyllobates terribilis "Orange", a new tank for them, and a Mist King.

[LilyPad]

Yikes!! That is crazy! At least she bought you new ones, my mom would be like, sorry, they escaped so I took the viv down!

[Whistly]

That's so sad. Maybe look around the house and see if you can find them.

See... I really agree with you Whistly.

Although your mom replaced them, there are probably a few FBTs dead somewhere...

Thank you Eric.

If it has only been a couple of days I'm sure they're around the house somewhere (alive hopefully) and if there are bugs in your house then they may have eaten something. I had a monarch butterfly chrysalis in my room last year and when I got home it had hatched but I couldn't find it anywhere. A week later while trying to sleep I heard a rustling noise and for a week it had been behind my tv. Unfortunately it had a bent wing so I kept it alive and took it outside for small flights and one day during a flight it just took off without any problems and flew over the hill. That made me really happy.

The moral of the story don't give up. Fae DON"T GIVE UP.

[Fae]

No it's been too long I'm sure they are gone

[Whistly]

No it's been too long I'm sure they are gone

I'm sorry for yor loss.

[artes]

I would also request a nice Pyxie frog to make up for some emotional trauma. Heck, ask for two, and mail me one.

[Fae]

I'm sorry for yor loss.

Thanks.


Hehe artes! Sure, I'll mail one to you..! LOL I'm definitely going to ask for another frog. But maybe not right now as I am still trying to get my current enclosures perfect for the many frogs I already have.


Yeah it's been more than a few days, I am sure my old ones, who were very old and dear to me, are dried up and shriveled somewhere. I HATE finding dead frogs in the house! Even if they came from outside. And these happened to be precious to me. I had them for over 5 years (which is a very long life for a FBT, I think) and they were all still very healthy.

But, at least she replaced them, so I have some new guys to get to know, and looking forward to them living a very long happy life.

[WalyLama]

As much as you look at them l know you sure u noticed. I have 7 and can tell them apart even by their toes. I would have rather her waited for me to pick new ones. Theres one a petsmart in sj thats almost 4 in!

[artes]

If its only been a few days, maybe do a quick check around just in case. If your house is humid, there's always a -small- chance someone is still ok. Animals can survive some really random stuff.

If not, 5 years is a great life for firebellies, and I know they were happy (and hoppy!) with you.
