New Additions to the Family

Well, we now have 2 more additions to the frog home. We now have "Mom" and "Sarah". I'll be posting their pics later tonight. They are a little camera shy, or they just aren't used to my big head in the tank snapping pics. So, Gracie and I get the frogs in the tank, and instantly they do a group orgy, while Gracie is saying, awww they hugging! LMAO! Because I still had the lid off, I couldn't snap a pic! Now, i've not seen all 4 of them at it since! Well, the interesting thing is Sarah is Green! So that's easy to be able to tell her apart, and Mom is really tiny, so i'm thinking she's pretty young. Seeing since i'm the frog expert all of a sudden! lmao! So, it was interesting watching them all interact with eachother. Sister was kind of mean and almost like drowning the new ones! She wasn't attaching herself to them, she was more getting on their heads and pushing them under the water! lol

I'm very confused now at who is male/female, they are all on eachother! Gracie wants 5 more frogs to add to our family and I told her we are done now for awhile! I said no more frogs, I need a bigger tank. So now she thinks we are going to buy a bigger tank! lol Um no! At least not yet! lol How crazy am I that I can tell the difference between the 3 brown frogs! Annie has the marks on her neck, Sister is really fat, and Mom is thin! LMAO! Seriously, i'm losing it!

Who would have thought I would invest this much time into these damn things! Then yesterday both petstores I went too had no crickets! So, now they are going to have to wait till Friday, cause nobody will have any until tomorrow or Friday and i'm not driving to 100 places just for crickets! lol They will survive!

I do have to say though, I feel my home is nicer than where the frogs came out of! I bought Mom and Sister at petsmart, and now for most of you that have been in there, i'm not sure what size tanks all those fish are in, probably 10gal? anyway, they had it 90% water - very little dry land, and there had to be 20 frogs in the tank! There was no floating things for them to lay on either! So it makes me sad that they are all thrown in like that! Then at Petco, they are in a 20 gal tank, and they have like 20 frogs and a bowl of water! It's not a big bowl either! It just surprises me how they just don't seem to take real good care of the reptiles.

Anyway, now i'm becoming a friggen frog advocate! I'm losing it! lol Anyway, i'll post pics later!

Nice to hear of your new additions. You are right sometimes the pet stores don't take very good care of there animals. Glad you have given them a good home!
