craigslist frog

[Lifeguard]

I came accross a d. Leucomela for sale on Craigslist the other day. Contacted the person and went to buy it the next day. The pic on Craigslist showed a well fed frog. When I got there I found a frog that had not been fed for a week and a half and looked vary thin. He also seemed to be quite lethargic. Once home and fed he seems to be getting better.

I'm glad you saved its life.

I hope he does well for you. Have you kept any dart frogs before or are you looking for advice and help with proper care?

[Lifeguard]

The day I got him.

[Lifeguard]

I started out with 3 juvenile d. leucomelas and have kept those going for a little over a year. Any advice is always welcome. I have done a lot of research and even got a few books on dart frogs.

That poor frog! It's a good thing you saved him.

OK, sounds like you must be versed in proper care then. I just wanted to make sure you knew how to culture fruit flies and supplement them with Repashy Calcium Plus, humidity levels, all that kind of stuff. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Good Luck!

Lifeguard thanks for rescuing that frog. It's emaciated in that pic.

Do you have the resources to feed him immediately? he should be fed about 20-30 fruit flies a day for the next few weeks. You should also try feeding out the fruit fly maggots!

Yes, fruit fly maggots are a good way to fatten up a frog in a hurry.
