dantedobe Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I have around 20 tadpoles some have developed legs. I think they are Golden Bell Frogs. I got them from work (it was either me taking them or kids), they originally came from Tokomaru Bay. I don't know what to do with them. I thought I could release them when they had turned to frogs but I looked on the web and they said they are only found north of Gisborne. We are going camping in Gisborne next week. Should we take them and release them up there. If so - where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 It's a big no-no to release frogs to spots other than where they came from - spreads froggy disease such as the chytrid fungus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantedobe Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Great, last year the staff all took tadpoles into each class at school and they released them as they changed to frogs. This year to save them from the kids all taking them and not looking after them, I took the remainders at the end of term. What am I going to do with them?

JarrenB Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 What am I going to do with them? Feed them to the Axolotls! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Grrrr, I love froggies, how dare you guys say such things in front of me! Yeah, you shouldn't have any trouble selling them to a pet shop or on trademe... Once they're sold on there's no guarantee others won't later free them in the wrong place but I guess there's not much to be done about it.

dantedobe Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I don't want to feed them to anything (I am too squeamish for that sort of thing) and I don't want to give them to someone who will feed them to something or release them where they shouldn't. I'm stuck! We have them in a pond at the moment but we have 8 cats who would love frogs and 3 chihuahuas who would love them more :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarrenB Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Yeah I was joking, I couldn't feed them to anything. I had a frog untill a few weeks ago when it escaped . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
