Just thought I'd share...

This is absolutely the cutest thing I've ever seen. The frog I rescued from PetCo that had the hole in its arm is just the sweetest thing ever. I guess to start, only one of my frogs actually calls spontaneously throughout the day, the others just sit there, don't even call back. Then, yesterday, I was mimicking the sound of the frog using my vocal chords, and it answered back! It's so cute. I called up one of my friends and did it for them over the phone and they thought it was awesome as well...anyone know about any frog calling contests? It's just so funny, and I had to share.

Srry to break your chain, but theres no such thing as 'a rescue from petco'. Your not "rescueing" anything ....your actually supporting the store to buy, and mistreat more animals. If you realy want to rescue something, than dont buy anything

azureus is right, now that you have bought him, petco will buy another frog and mistreat it aswell. if you want to rescue frogs dont buy any from petco, so they go out of buissiness, lol. cute story though, if the frog is croaking he is happy!!!!

I realize that by purchasing a frog from Petco, I am making space for another one, but I also wrote the store a letter, and their set-up has changed. And my efforts, whether or not it is going to be replaced, were worthwhile. I'd rather be thinking positively than negatively and say that I saved that frog's life. I know I can't save every single frog. And I purchase things from PetCo other than the frogs, so I am supporting none the less. It doesn't bother me that they keep those frogs, it was just the conditions they kept them in. All the reptiles and other animals were treated well, and were in good condition...clean cages, no feces and such. It was just the treefrogs. I walked into buy crickets the other day, and they were cleaning the cages, so what I did was definitely worth it. I'm glad I bought the frog so I could say something to the store, and let them know. Anyways...everyone always tells me that I write a paragraph where all that's needed is a sentence...meaning I talk to much. I agree both ways...obviously with myself more so, but also to the fact that they're just going to buy more. I just hope the keep the cages clean so no other frogs get sick.
