You took them to Oregon???
Ayup. They're good little travellers. They had a small travel house that fit on the seat behind me. When we got to our kiddo's place, I set up their regular froggo house for them. They lived in there on the apartment balcony. These are tree frogs, so they loved being up so high.
They went into the hotels with us, while we were travelling, of course. The first night, it was our wedding anniversary, and hubby had reserved a very nice room at a downtown historic hotel in Rapid City, South Dakota. The staff was very amused by the frogs. The bellman would note anyone else who cast a curious glance, and he would announce in his rather authoritative tone, "Frogs." Just one word, that's all. He was thoroughly enjoying himself with our nonsense.
There were protesters across the street from the hotel and all over that area during the evening, but the frogs actually came into the historic hotel, so they made their own history that night.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The froggos would never do that.

Was he a good traveller? Did he enjoy it?
Yeah, he was. He enjoyed sitting in the sun on the back deck of the car. We got some pretty funny looks from people, I might add.
When we'd get up there, we'd let him have the run of the place.

This is an awesome thread.
Yes, Brenda's froggos are altogether awesome.
Jodi needs to see some more pics of the pet froggos we raised. Thanks for reminding me, Cats!

Something I've been curious about: Do you keep the froggos in the net thing for their protection, because they're not mature enough to be let outside? Or does the net thing act as a frog aquarium for you to keep them by, as pets?

All the above. In summer, they are in their house on the porch, and it protects them from predators. Because they've been raised in captivity, they aren't really prepared to transition to living in the yard. The frog experts say to never release pet frogs, rather to find a new owner to care for them.
That's why I continue to raise tadpoles in a little pond outside by the porch. I get the tadpoles from the church's retention pond across the street from my house. The retention pond dries out, so I rescue them before they would otherwise die from lack of water. Those that morph to froghood from the taddie pool are basically wild frogs, and can have better odds of making it on their own outdoors.
It's the best of both options. We have pets and wild ones. Hopefully, we'll have more wild frogs visit the porch this summer. I don't know if it will ever happen again, but it would be great fun. If Jurgi returns, I'll get pics. His markings are distinctive. He has a map of Italy on his back.
