just FYI... I found this frog on the window of a truck at a Walmart Parking lot. Hard to beleive I know, but I decided to bring it home with me to figure out what to do with it. Thanks for all the advise. I think I will let it go... Now the question is... WHERE?

Answer 1

That is a green tree frog.
Somewhat difficult to keep alive in captivity, especially as captured as an adult out of the wild. They require about 80F moist environment, with a moist substrate like moss, (not peat-moss, moss like what you can get for amphibians at stores).
Offer small crickets and flies as food.
If you have no experience with frogs at all, I would recommend letting it go, if not, I wish you luck with it.

Answer 2

It relies upon on the species and length of the frog/toad yet generally conversing a toad or frog will consume just about any computer virus. I used to feed mine crickets and waxworms besides as earth worms. you may desire to purchase crickets at petshops and a few baitshops. you will get 250 waxworms (they appear like maggots. yet larger) from a baitdealer for roughly $15. Small earthworms you are able to seize by ability of flipping over some rocks and different stuff around the backyard, or pass out at night with a flashlight and seize the bigger ones (nightcrawlers) and you may desire to purchase them, and redworms at baitshops or perhaps WalMart sells the two in the donning products branch.

Answer 3

A frog living in teh wild should not be captured. First of all you obviously can't care for it properly, and he will die, and secondly he must be free and reproduce and live in his environment. Try to find out where he came from (any standing water, like a lake, etc.) and release him there. Or just leave him where you found him. You are killing him right now, he needs his own living conditions.

Answer 4

Please let it go, wild frogs rarely survive in captivity. You cannot reproduce its natural environment or diet, which means it will get sick and die. It can also be carrying a huge number of diseases you can catch. Please, just let it go.

Answer 5

Aww, very cute.
But please, unless it is injured - put it back outside where he will thrive.

Answer 6

Answer 7
