i need help PLEASE!!!!!?

Question

its been raining all day here so there are giant puddles, and the sewer is full. my sister was playing near the sewer and a northern leopard frog jumped out. she let it go and this little retard in my complex took a knife and tried to disect it and cut its skin, im keeping it for awhile till it heals, can you help me with its enclosure and stuff, thanks!

plz dont give me an answer like " why did someone try to disect it" or "just let it go it will be fine" it wont be fine or the kid will try to disect it again!

well thanks, im only keeping it for a few days (like 3 or 4) so i cant really buy all that stuff, plus im only 11 so dont really have any money

my sister didnt try to disect it, it was a boy in our complex, and by "little retard" i was refering to that boy

Answer 1

Most of these frogs will heal on their own. They have a tendency in captivity and in the wild to cut themselves on objects. Depends really on how bad the cut is..where the cut is and if they cut a major artery. Frogs are like humans and I think we all know that from high school...

These frogs have amazing capabilities to heal themselves. The site below will explain housing and stuff!! Hope you can help him out...

Answer 2

it is great that you care!!

if it is just a small cut just in the skin, i would just let it go. they have amazing capabilities to heal injuries and what looks like serious injury means next to nothing to them. it will do better on its own - this is just fact , whether you want to hear it or not.

really no need to invest in a terrarium. if the frog was unlucky and the cut is in a place where it can easily get infected, keeping the frog in captivity will probably mean higher chance of infection (worse chance of the frog to fight the infection).

you maybe know newts and tadpoles can re-grow their legs. when a whole leg is bitten/cut off an adult frog, it doesnt regrow but it heals. so a skin cut is nothing. - but this is absolutely no excuse for what your sister did and tried to do! you and your parents must have a word with her or it is just a matter of time when she does something like that again.

Answer 3

I don't know much about this type of frog, but, I do know a little about frogs! Ok, you are going to have to go to your local pet store to get this stuff below, unless you have it already! Here is the list:

A Clean 10 Gallon Tank

Clean Pebbles

Mealworms (please go to the petstore to get these!)

A Dish (to put water in!)

Distilled Water

Fake Plants

Once you have put at least 1 inch think of a pebbles in the 10 gallon tank, put some distilled water in the dish that you bought, or had! Then, try to feed the frog some of the mealworms! Also, put the fake plants in the tank, too! Try to make the tank as real as possable! If you need anymore information, then, you can google search the frog breed! I hope that this helps!

Why the heck is she trying to disect the frog?
