Welcome to the Forum Greg!

It sounds like you have a nice collection started. And it's great that you enjoy the frogs with your son. A good way to "guy bond". How old is your son?
I enjoy our frogs with my son as well. They learn soo much, and are fascinated by them.

Hi Ebony! Hi lnaminneci!

Inaminneci - my son is seven, about the age at which I became really interested in amphibia. Because he is young, we care for the toads together, and its a great opportunity to share a common interest, and at the same time, quietly pass along some of what I think is important in caring for animals. My son is an avid reader and has devoured all of my amphibian books. He actually goes to sleep some nights listening to a frog/toad calls CD that came with an amphibian book we bought for him.

That is so sweet!

I would love to see some pictures of your toads! I recently came into possession of a Western toad myself and I'm finding them to be full of spunk and character. I can't wait to watch Enoch grow and mature.

I can understand your caution on expanding your collection. I am glad that your toads made it through the treatment okay, but that would always be in the back of my mind too. However, with your experience and knowledge-plus advice and ideas from us hip and cool Frog Forum members-I am sure we can help you expand whenever you are ready.

Your son sounds like a great young man! And he has great taste in bedtime music, too!!

Greg,

That is soo great! Your son will always remember that about your father/son relationship. He will learn and inherit your love, respect, and appreciation for animals/amphibians.
My son is 4 years old. And it is soo much fun to watch his face and see his thrill and excitement when caring for our 4 frogs. It has been a great learning experience for BOTH of us. He will often fall asleep listening to a cd of a babbling brook and crickets.
You will learn alot from the Forum, and everyone here is soo helpful, informative, and friendly!

It's scary enough to think that God is watching! I can't have Paul watching too.
