• Jun. 25, 2009 - Introducing Kyle and Nigel

My youngest son is an animal lover.  We call him Dr. Doolittle.  He has desperately wanted a frog for "my entire life!"  As we don't have vacation plans far from home this year, we decided that this would be the summer of the bullfrog.  We scoured ponds and wet places close to home but were not successful on our polliwog hunt.  We turned to our good friends at InsectLore to help us out.  Kyle (the new bullfrog) and Nigel (the polliwog) are now happily living in our son's room on his dresser.  He has learned that bullfrogs can live up to 16 years in captivity!  He feeds them fish food and keeps 5 inches of water in the bottom of the fish tank to keep Nigel happy.  Once Nigel is a full grown bullfrog, we plan on lining their home with sand.  They are terrestrial creatures.  We have come up with the idea to clean their water using a turkey baster.  Polliwogs are very messy!!!!  We haven't tried this out but it seems like a great idea and hopefully won't disturb our little polliwog too much.
