I HAVE A FROG LIVING IN MY KITCHEN!
MissBinky
I walked into my kitchen last night and the lights were off. I was
walking toward the sink and I saw something move across the counter.
This kinda made me nervous cuz I don't usually have stuff moving
around in my kitchen. So I turned on the light to see what it was and
it was a cute, tiny FROG!
He's only about an inch big, but he's not the kind that I used to keep
as pets in a bowl of water (tiny with really long legs). He looked
more like the kind that needed dry land. I don't really know what he
was doing there or how he got there, but since he made the effort to
come visit me, I thought I would try to make him comfortable.
I don't really know what frogs like that need or want, but I thought
he'd probably enjoy a SWIMMING POOL! So, I filled a bowl with water
and stuck a little basil plant that was on my window sill, inside the
bowl.
I don't know if he ever made it inside the swimming pool, or if that's
something frogs like him go for, but when I woke up this morning, I
walked into the kitchen and he was there, sitting on the counter next
to the sink again.
He's really CUTE. What should I do? I think he wants to live with
me. What should I feed him? What type of setting would make him feel
most comfortable? I named him "Alfredo".

Check with your local "wild-life" center or herpatalogic (sp?)
society, don't get caught with some rare/endangered species. Baring
that I'd keep it in a moist eviroment, and feed it mealworms.
Rev. Susie the Floozie
First, you need to identify if Alfredo is a frog or a toad. Their
needs differ according to the type--toads are dry-landers, frogs semi-
aquatic.
Here's a couple short things of frog and toad care:

I'm ashamed to admit I know little about these guys, but they're
charming little buggers, aren't they? Very happy and tranquilizing--at
least if they're not those loud-ass coqui frogs who keep you up all
night--unless he's a Puerto Rican emigree, you'll have no problem with
that. "Alfredo" is a perfect froggy name.
Oh, and yeah, toads don't cause warts. That's a crock. They carry
MRSA.
Just kidding.
Or maybe I'm not--like I said, I'm in the dark here.
GOOD LUCK WITH YER NEW PAL!

Tater used to have a couple three newts. They's kinda like frogs. If
you want to keep him, you might try a peat terrarium -- it's real easy
and you don't need to clean it or nothin. Get you an aquarium tank at
a garage sale. Get some peat moss, put it in an aquarium tank with a
lot on one end and none on the other. Mix in a little regular dirt.
Pour in some distilled water so that there is a wet side and a dry
side. Put a few rocks in the dry side, and one on the wet side
sticking out of the water. The peat terrarium is sort of self
cleaning. You don't have to change the water, just keep adding it.
Tater kept his newts for six or seven years, fed em dried tubifex
worm, which you can get over to the pet store. Once he got them some
live tubifex worms, and them newts got so excited they did a little
dance.

It's not nice to refer to French people that way. We can't help it that
we're small.

I haven't touched him yet cuz I wasn't sure if I could catch some
weird disease. I'm just letting him have the run of the place right
now. He seems to be quite content just hanging around my kitchen
sink. I was just washing the dishes and he sprang out of a
chrysanthemum plant sitting next to my sink. I think he likes the
plant life in my kitchen.
Having him show up like that is reminding me of all those "talking
frog" jokes. I think that would really be cool if he started
talking! I wonder if he's just waiting for a conversation
starter...maybe I should ask him a little about himself to get the
ball rolling.
I let you know if he starts talking!

pond. I caught him eating a dove recently. It was so big he could
only swallow it half-way down. He was just sitting there waiting for
the top half to digest so he could swallow the rest. I thought that
was cuter than shit.
MissBinky
You just made me think if something: I'd better start inspecting
Amazing Jack, TM for tiny bite marks. If this frog is as crafty as
your bullfrog, he may be sizing Jack up and trying to eat him piece by
piece too!

just bewarned, jack is gonna try to eat it.
Winston always did crap like that. Come into the kitchen and find him
gnawing on a frog, then he'd turn it and gnaw it a different way.
Dog was too damn dumb to figure out how to eat it.

Thanks Susie. I read up on the frog & toad stuff and I'm still not
sure which one he is. But he looks similar to this:

I just went into my kitchen and I was looking for him. I finally
found him in the swimming pool I made for him, hiding behind the basil
plant, 1/2 in the water. He seems to like it there.
Guess I gotta go find me some crickets and mealworms now.

that guy around in awhile.

Yep--between that factoid and the pic, I'd say you gots a fine little
froglet there. And a handsome one, too. Try not to kiss him--a prince
wouldn't be as good as one fine frog.
Princess Wei has kept a newt since before i met her, and we've known
each other since when the earth was cooling. And that little fucker is
the happiest little amphibian EVAr--and damned cute, too.
Yes, I think something's cute. But it's NEVER puppies, kittens, nor
bunnies. It's gotta have scales if it's gonna claw its way into my
heart...!

It's probably a toad and it's probably finding what it likes to eat right
there in your kitchen.
Toads eat bugs and grubs.
Go out and buy him a bag of mealworms or crickets.

My nephew once found a frog in his toilet!
But you appear to have a toad. Toads are land lubbers.
Although he will help rid you home of pesky insects, I'm sure Jack
will want to make a snack of him.
Bets is to move him physically outside where he can do his toad thing
and live in the high grass.

the skin on the critter in the reference photo is frogskin--smooth,
supple, shiny. Toads have more of a texture to their skins which dulls
the reflectivity factor--they also have a broadness to the chest
structure.
I'm just sayin', that's what I know about 'em.
Oh, and frog piss tastes better than toad pee. But only marginally.

This is TRUE! The whole thing should give you an idea of what to watch
out for in frog ownership...
