Frog Blog

Our friends Laura and Patrick are visiting this week from Phoenix. The kids are in their glory with all the fun things we've been doing. I think their favorite was our frog hunt. Laura and Patrick helped them catch 5 baby frogs in the greenway trail attached to our neighborhood. This was a first for them as catching frogs and bugs is something I would never do with them! Yuck!
3 of the frogs made an escape the first night so we are down to 2. Yesterday we went out and got them a frog house and bought some frog/tadpole pellet food which they don't seem to be eating. We've read you're suppose to feed them live bugs, crickets, etc. But finding crickets smaller than the frogs has been a challenge.
Any ideas, I'm feeling their death is coming soon : (

You can buy live crickets, check with Zoo for adresses
Leave a raw piece of meat out in the sun for a couple of days then wait another couple of days and you should get flies :)
