Posted by: Slaytonp at Sun Jul 15 20:27:52 2007 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Slaytonp ] Those little suckers are faster than speeding bullets. I can relate to your panic, having had it happen to me when transferring my very first shipment of tiny auratus froglets to the nursery tank. I flung cats out the door while my foster son went after it bare-handed. Another time, an imitator leapt out and dove under an upright piano with about an inch of clearance. I managed to goose it out with a wet paper towel on a stick, along with years of accumulated dust and cat hair. One of my more exploratory galactonotus escaped three different times before I finally found how she was doing it by swimming across the aquarium section and climbing a power cord for the heater on the far corner, then squeezing under the plastic flap. The first time, I found her hopping around in the kitchen sink. The second time, she was leaping over the fruit fly containers, and the third time, I picked up what looked like a hair ball on the rug, and it was her, upside down. I would have sworn she was dead, but she recovered after a quick rinse under the faucet. (Untreated well water.) I finally watched carefully and caught her in the act on her fourth attempt, then taped that corner tightly. I'm amazed that your escaped frog lasted over night without turning into a mummy. They dehydrate so rapidly in the open. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Show Entire Thread ] | ||
