My uncle came across a little frog when he was watering the plants! The little guy (Or gal) has been hiding in our mint plant since September, which is when we brought the plants inside.
You should be hibernating little froggy!!!:rofl:
Does anyone have any experience with frogs? Any ideas what on earth this little one is?
Photos are not altered, he has a slight green twinge in spots but seems to be mostly tan.

I have decided to keep him until spring... on account he would not survive a second in this.

Are crickets a good food choice?
Thanks!
 
He would eat anything like crickets, wax worms, phoenix worms. I feed toads by putting the food in a bare container, then putting the toad in for about 30 minutes. It's easier than putting food in the viv and losing it. That would probably work fine with a frog.
 
Thanks everyone, it turns out that he is a great eater!

Then again, I would be hungry too if I spent three months inside a mint plant. hehe.

And yes, Hooray for snow!! Winter is my favorite time of the year.
 
Don't those frogs freeze solid during the winter months? I thought that species along with Grey's, the common wood frog, and a couple of others froze solid during the winter months but stayed alive via the high amounts of glucose produced in their livers even though their brain and heart shuts down for the winter? I'm not a frog specialist though... Great story and an interesting find! Always fun to find a little stowaway from time to time :) Keeps ya on your toes lol. Good luck with him this winter and my guess would be that he needs a uvb light as well as most frogs do. Make sure to keep his water changed A LOT because frogs poo a lot and they like to do it in their water and the nitrate levels can become deadly quickly in stagnant water. Other than that...heat to a proper temp and feed the little guy some crickets and different types of worms for a properly diverse diet. Enjoy your find and your new little buddy :D Any names yet?
