    Several months ago, I decided to raise 11 green tree frogs from tiny little tadpoles. I have watched them grow (they were so small I had to feed them special fruit flies from the pet shop). Now they are getting fat and robust. The problem is I just can't seem to work up the nerve to release them into my backyard ponds. I worry that they won't get enough to eat, blah, blah, blah, blah. The people at the pet shop just ask me if I want the usual when I go in for crickets. The usual is 60 small crickets BTW. I think even my wife is attached to the little buggers now.

    Anyway, Gotta go do a cricket run.

    See ya,

    Abner :)

    Why would you be a bad person, just because you got attached to your little pets? A little bit nuts, maybe, but not a bad person.

    He he he!!!!! Well, I did it. I released them a couple of days ago and they are doing great. They keep climbing onto the lily pads, and like to take dips in the pond!!!!!

    Here is what they look like:

    One of the bittersweet truths of being a parent is that every step forward for them is a step away from you. I know, I know, they're only frogs. But still.

    I am sure they will come and visit on the holidays!

    Only if you release a non-native invasive into the wild. Otherwise have fun.
