Well it's a pacman frog so until I'm 100% sure on if it is female I'm still thinking of an actual name. |

Hmmm I'd say its about 40cm by 25 cm and height 30cm, and taking care of her... well she just sits in 2 or 3 different places and I just make sure the soil (coconut husk) is pretty damp and water in bowl for bathing... which is the same size as her now so doesn't work as well anymore and a locust every couple days with the odd dead baby mouse as a treat maybe once a month.  other than that she shares a heat mat with my ant colony. She doesn't do a lot xP |

So here's an update on Mrs frog, whom I've had just over a year now I like to think she's happy Here's a short story I thought I'd share The other month I noticed a large blister on her back leg where after some research I thought was safe to assume was due to a locust bite that got infected. I'd started feeding her live locusts after she was not at all interested in dead ones dangled in her cage. I figure it was during the phase where I was giving her 2 locusts at once. For some reason she never tried eating the locusts when there was more than 1 in the cage and hence the 2 locusts were in there so long they got hungry and so on D: either way I didn't notice the bite as she was (for the most part) always well hidden under soil. When it came to changing her soil I noticed and booked her in at the vets. When the lady came asked me for her name my mind went blank........ thinking to myself.... it's a frog..... errr ... "Nami"....... a character from a computer game.... So a week later I walk into the vets with ma frog and they say to me"ohhhh this must be Nami"...... and I just stare at her like..... the **** is a Nami........ ..... "OHHHHH! my frog... Yes this is Nami...." xP and so commenced half a dozen members of staff hording around me as they never get to see anything exotic. And this sort of being the main point of the story, I have never felt so much passion emanating from one group of people! It was truly one of the nicest responses I've ever seen any other group of people give towards someone elses hobby/interest. They were fascinated it really did make me feel like these people belonged in their profession  And again after going into the room to see the vet who again got another group of trainee vets to come in as they'd also never gotten to see an exotic frog again the same thing happened. It was rather an enjoyable occasion especially as I was correct (as far as we will ever know) in my conclusion on what caused the blister and it was treated by a twice a day application of lotion with a full recovery |
