Muppet, my lil african dwarf frog died today, he was 4 years old and such a cute lil guy. He loved his food, mosquito larvae and had a little face like a muppet character, he was so quick about snatching all the lil worms up, he was a good lil frog. not sure what happened to him, perhaps old age, i was told a lifespan of maybe 2 years by a few people, so 4 is a ripe old age. poor lil guy, well off to pick a nice spot in the garden for the fellow, he was just a lil guy, but will be greatly missed

What a shame. I guess if it was old age then there was nothing you could do for that, No signs to watch for, and 4 years is quite a long life for frogs. Still doesn't make it any easier on you though. Hang in there. Sorry you lost a pet Rea

You should be commended for that alone, 4 is very old for them. We lost our original male breeder russian dwarf hamster recently, but its nice knowing he had a good full life and we helped make that for him.

He was so cool, he got along with ANY other hamster, ones that did not get along with others we put him in with, he would go up to them and when they screached, he would stand on his back legs and pat their face with his paws.... it was so cute.

He also very actively helped out with his babies, cleaning and caring for them, once they were weaned, he would play with them for hours and be so patient. He had a sky tower to retreat to when he got tired that they could not follow him, but when he came down it was so adorable to watch all the babies run to daddy and romp with him..... he would get in his big enclosed wheel and all the babies would follow him in and when he ran in it, babies would come flying out all over the place, hit the shavings and run to climb back in with dad.

Strange how attached we can become to such a simple other life form, but also how unique some are. They add so much to our lives

we burried him in the garden under what we call "the rain tree" when the wind blows it makes the sound of rain, we thought he would like it there and we know its a place he wont be disturbed.

Thanks again for the nice words...
