Help,,,,,,,,,,,,hurt frog

sam-n-ella Jul 14, 2004 11:46 AM

Hi,
I have never posted here before, im a regular over at the iguana forums, but i need some help and im hoping someone can help me

Last night while at work ( i drive a route) i was leaving one of my stores andnoticed something on the grill of my truck, hanging on for dear life was a little frog, i have no idea what type of frog he is, at the time i looked ithought he may have broken leg, i took him off the grill of my truck, put him in a little plastic cup and brought him home, put him in an aquarium , i wasnt sure if he liked water or not so i tilted the aquarium and put water in so it would only fill one side of the tank giving him a choice of wet or dry, i also put some hibiscus plants in there and he imediatly took cover under them

again i am not sure what type of frog he is, or what he eats or what his habitat should be, im not even sure he is well

he is alive and breathing and occasionaly moves, but his midsection is very bloated, i have taken some pictures of him hoping someone can help me to identify him, and maybe help,

thank you
angel

Looks like some type of treefrog. They really don't soak in water much, but still need to be kept moist.
I would see if the frog seems to be able to jump well, and if it's strong and active, I'd let it go. Just give him a poke in the butt and see if he jumps. If he appears lethargic and does not try to get away, you may have a rehab case on your hands.
