Hey everyone, I wanted to thank you for commenting on my other message but didn't want to post this concern there with it being over-looked. As some might know, I just moved and feel so concerned about my bf's! I'll tell you why.
I can only feed them mealworms everyday now and lack crickets and worms. They eat all right, but I'm still afraid that their growing bodies may suffer nutrition. Then, today, something happened.
I took a long nap, woke up, and my bigger male bf was gone!! I looked around the window ledge, because I had the window on the right side open, thinking perhaps he's jumped out. But there was no clue.
Then I remembered something. Bf's like dark places. This one is really smart, so I lifted up the big bed, and there he was!! Amazing! I put him back in the tank and covered the little plastic opening he got out of.
Man, I've got to move tomorrow, Got to go to this small country town. I might start a new job. Nearby where I'm living is a small, dirty stream, thought of letting him go, but he wouldn't do well there. Should I let him go in some pond in the country? I don't know.
He's grown, as well as the other, and is thriving well. He even croaks now. When I move them, I put them in the container, with water, and then put them in a box, with air, and keep them semi-stable from bumping. I know frogs don't like this. Yet as a frog man, I feel so foolish because here I am, 38 years old, hoisting frogs around with me! They just make such good pets, and are so intelligent. Really, the intelligence of bf's is something I've yet to hear about from others. But there's something magnetic about these creatures and I hope I can keep these for a long time. They're like my children now
Sentimental, I know. But it's better than seeing them by the hundreds, and that stuffed in a plastic container as froglets, only waiting to be fed to the gian fish here in Asia. One frog even sensed this as I put it in with my turtles. It thought it was food. These animals almost have a sixth sense!
