Tips for picking out a frog
November 15th 2009 13:21
When looking for a pet frog, you want to make sure the the one you pick out is healthy. You may think that by adopting a sick frog, you'll be doing the frog a favor, but it can get quite expensive in treatments and vet visits to make a sick frog healthy. It's just much easier, especially if you don't have the money and time it takes for a sick frog, to just purchase a healthy one.
When at the pet store, they'll more than likely have a few frogs per enclosure, unless you're looking at frogs who are known cannibals, like pac man frogs. You want to make sure that all of the frogs in the enclosure look healthy. If there's one sick one, you don't know if they're all really sick, but just not as bad off as the worse one.
You want too look for clean water and a clean environment. You want a frog that has good vibrant colors, clear eyes and appears alert.
Before going to choose a pet frog, you want to make sure that you know what the signs of a sick frog are so that you know what to look for.
If you have any doubts about the frogs at the pet store, don't purchase one. They will get new shipments, and more than likely you have other pet stores that carry frogs. And, remember if you are just looking for more frogs to add to your tank of already existing frogs, you want to quarantine the new frogs so that if they are sick, you don't infect your other frogs; it's best to quarantine for at least 30-60 days.
