    In Wisconsin, it's illegal to own more than five native amphibian species. You also cannot legally purchase them anywhere in Wisconsin and have to have a fishing license to obtain them from the wild. From what I've heard, it's to protect them from becoming fishing bait. Some people apparently like to hook a big fat frog to catch big fat fish If a pet store is caught selling them, they face some hefty fines from the DNR.

    Ya Im in Ontario if anyone knows the legal amount here please message me... I know no store is allowed to sell them here and that I cant take them out of forests so finding them in my yard is the only way unless I find someone giving thers away I guess lol.

    We have actually heard them croaking in the bushes by the train tracks behind us... we think thats where ours originally came from.

    Check out your local DNR site, it was tricky to find on mine but eventually I found a spot about native amphibians.

    Sorry to hear that, but at least it wasn't one of the ones you already had and knew. That makes them dying even sadder. When my last rat died, I was a mess because he was so sweet and had the nicest personality of any pet I've ever had. I would have been sad if he had died before I got him of course, but knowing all his little quirks made it even harder.

    Most definitely! I was sad about it, but it wasn't devastating like if I lost one of my frogs I already have.
