My 5 year old has a Whites and she does love him. She got kind of bored at first because I wouldnt let her do much while I was trying to figure out what we were doing. Now she is allowed to help change the water and she is learning how to drop crickets into the tank. I have taught her were the gauges should be and she checks them everyday. Now that she is more active with him she enjoys him. She and my other kids ages 4 and 2 have been taught to wash thier hands in clean water before handling Frogger and afterwards we all wash our hands with soap and water. They are only allowed to touch him on special occasions. Every morning they play find the frog before he goes to bed for the day and at night they look for him before bed. She is already begging for a secound Whites and the first one we got here for her birthday late last year.

If you get lots of help here you should be able to keep your new frog. Read lots of books to her about whites care and have her help you look up stuff online she will enjoy it then.
