Hey Turtle! I clicked to the site and it looks awsome! I am just never ever online much any more
I had slipped back into spending to much time on line and its amazing how many hours fly by sitting here! So I am back to logging on only about once every week or so if that so I doubt I would spend much time brousing the site.
I am a little dissapointed in the local stores selling dart froggs and not giving proper care info on them though. I am sure not all store clerks who sell them let folks go out totally uninformed but I had a guy call me this week for some info on frogs and I was amazed that he had never even heard of dusting the food, the proper foods to feed or much less any other important info on the species or anything! Just basically selling very expensive pets and not providing any critical info with them. At the very least they could type up a general guid to keeping frogs and photo copy it to give folks if they didn't have time for a lengthy QandA with evey customer. Petsmart even gives you care sheets on a betta.
But a frog sell is a lot like a fish or any other animal sell and its the reponsibility of the owner to reaserch and provide the proper care for the animal. But I would think in light of finding the actual frogs for over half as cheap from hobbiests breeding them to learning how to culture your own fruit fly culturs for a lot cheaper to realizing the plants they sell can also be had way cheaper from any local nursery (most plants ie: mondo grass...). I must clarify you need to take care getting plants from a nursury since they can have toxins.
If I were in the reptile buisness I would never want my customers to get online so I would provide them with good care info up front so they don't get online trying to figure out why there frog has a short tounge and unable to feed properly or has muscle spazams like a sezure which all can be prevented with proper nutrition from dusting.
And its a dry item sell to boot! Who would say " no thanks" if the clerk says you know your frog will not thrive without this $7.99 vitamin/mineral suppliment... and you really need a Clean frog specific water mister bottle for $2.99 not to mention declorinater drops specially "designed" for reptiles... Hmmm, Maybe I need to go ask for a job :lol:
What I am saying is I am amazed some folks sell animals wiothout providing basic care info to the consumer. And no I think saying this new frog enthusiest purchased from XYZ store is of no concern so lets not go there please. I saw where another thread went way down hill after store names were being mentioned and the truth is any body may be checking you out with no more of a clue than you so ALWAYS reaserch before you buy any living animals
.
OK, this is why I spend to much time at the key board... I talk to much and type way to slow!
Turtle, I have a 4th wheel cobalt that may be what you need... Out of my 4some they keep kicking out one lonley frog so it is always off by itself. I need to go read up on how they interact to see what sex it likely is. Maybe its the sex you are looking for. I will wager its a 50/50 bet it is
.
Also one of my male cobalts escaped never to be found but I still have a pair and the female looks like she is so ready to drop a clutch any day!! But she has looked that fat for 2 weeks now so who knows but I am hopefull.
Wish I had more time to chat and get on the frog site you made but I have a koi pond half dug calling my name right now not to mention all the other unfinnished projects I have going.
