When Boredom Strikes...Good-bye means Hello

So, after having gotten rid of all but maybe ten of the baby frogs, we, well mainly Kash.. was really upset. I guess I'm more used to this? I don't know.. but he was upset that we had had to get rid of them, but like he posted.. we needed to due to the fact we just COULDN'T handle that many.

Even though we wanted to. So, that was pretty sad. Said our good byes and what not. Then today we went outside with Pa and I was walking down the steps and I saw something hop.. just next to the bottom step. I thought 'hmm..' and low and behold it was a toad! Though, of course not one of ours, as he is much bigger, but still a baby yet. Kash thinks it's a girl, I, really wouldn't know either way.

However, we picked him up and Kash immediately said "I wanna keep him, he shall be mine. Okay little froggy, you are mine. Now what shall I name you..hmm..." Okay, maybe not that last part, but I could tell he was thinking it. :P I mentioned the others.. and that we just have the one tank free, well it wasn't so free at the time, since it had a few of the baby frogs in it still.

We decided to get rid of them, since they weren't doing too well anyways.. and were just kind of dying off. Felt bad for the babies, tbh. They just didn't want to eat the buggies we brought for them. :/ So, we took the other froggies outta the tank and let them go where the other frogs were happily hopping around out front. Yes, they are still there. Well, some of them.

I cleaned the tank up while Kash did that, and then fixed the tank back up real quick for this new older, yet still young toad. It's not really a frog, huh, lol. Oh well. Anyway, did that, got him settled.. Kash took a pic.. yada yada. Now onto the first part of my title! Are you ready?!?!? Oh well if you aren't, because I'mma get to splaining anyways! DUN DUN DUN!



We were bored... and didn't feel like finishing up with our blog crap.. because yes, as you can see, it's very different! And he (Kash) needed to use the nebulizer, since his asthma was acting up. Turned the thing on, he did it.. and not really sure why, but when he was done, I decided to put the tube in my mouth, with it still turned on! OMG, did you know how much fun that is?!

We laughed so hard, playing with it, taking turns back and forth, seeing what kind of sounds we could make.. I mooed once like a cow, Kash tried to quack. It didn't turn out as well as he'd liked, but eh. I knew what he was doing. I even managed to say 'I love you' with this cool vibrating sound resonating from my mouth, lol. got some of it on vid for you all! Yay! :P



Other than all that, not much is going on. Kash got his second Cybunny, I opted not to get one. Instead, I morphed a pet into a Koi, and I have a Kiko Trans ready for the first.. Saving up for Li's Krawk.. since we were able to get the draik. Woot. I want a Maraquan Draik, but eh. The draik alone, is worth over 10mil, the maraquan PB is like 4mil. Crazy!

Trying to turn Lucky into a Lutari. So far, no luck. He's a brown moehog though, cuz I morphed him for the avvie, lol. So now, I have two moehogs. >.< Ugh. Yuck. Oh well. Lol. I guess this is all for now.

Peace peeps, and much love.

As promised..

Got some great photos of the froglets, toadlets, baby frogs, baby toads, tadpoles, and fish. Took video and everything. :) I hope you all enjoy. We did some more research, upon the lady next door telling us that Mammoth is NOT a bullfrog. She told us he is a speckled, but we researched those and, um.. no. He's not. So the search continued and we found him! He is (we believe) a southern leopard frog. We also believe some of the taddies are western and or southern chorus frogs.

The new home for the frogs/toads/froglets/toadlets.

We aren't even sure if our toads are toads anymore, as they have a green hint to them, once they become actual baby frog/toads. Once they lose their tails completely, they start to get a green tint, but dark green tint to their skin, with small dots patterened along their back. They are real cute. Kash things we accidently gave our tree frogs to the lady next door, or at least, his tree frog. I hope not. I'm hoping he's just hiding under the tree stump in the tank. :/


Watching you... (toad? blends in with the rock, no tail.)


Stop staring please... (toad? still has partial tail.)

I seez euu... (grey tree frog/hybrid? no tail.)


See, I kanz climb... (same frog as above.)

We're actually really thankful for the neighbor for just giving us that tank. It's helped ease our mind tremendously. She's also taken about 30 of our frogs/froglets/tadpoles (toadies likewise) off of our hands. She thinks they are adorable, and since she has three bullfrogs, plus firebelly toads, and loads of koi and turtles, not to mention the millions of fish and tanks... she was glad to have some more additions to her collection. Lol. She fell in love with them the moment we brought them over for her to see. :)


King of the hill, or in this case...rock.

For once, we actually got some decent pics of the goldfish and betta. I'm really happy. I just wish we had gotten some good pics of Rhett before he passed. Maybe when we get the next Rhett, we'll be able to get some pics of him. It's sad he passed, but I guess it was just meant to be. I effing hate Petsmart now, because it was their fault he died. He was sick when we got him, but we just couldn't take him back. They'd just let him die if we had. And we at least wanted to try and save his life.



Dhani: Silver with orange stripe/spots.
Emile: Pale pink with orange underbelly.


Lestat: Blue with aqua highlights.

Hopefully we can heal Lestat back to health. He's been battling a really bad case of fin rot. Nothing seems to work thus far. We are just going to have to keep changing the water regularly, and pray that it heals and new fins start to grow back. Now, on to the new tank addition. It came with rocks, and a deco rock/plant thing. Plus its own filter and everything. I couldn't be more thankful, honestly. I love it. It's perfect.


Front view, full shot of the tank with minnows and taddies.


Front view, close up of the minnows, enjoying the filter...don't ask..they're obsessed.


Last but not least, the side view of the new tank. That really big taddie, is Mammoth.

Here you guys go, it's the vids. Enjoy!

Froggy land!


Taddies and Minnows

Until next time, be good!

Oh, and I absolutely LOVE how each of our tanks is uniquely awesome.

Hoppers Galore

Two days ago, we noticed that two of our grey tree frogs have their front legs too! Oy vey. Lol. We had to drain over half the water from the tank, so the frogs that will all soon have their front legs will have a place to sit, above the water. And soon after that, the toads will follow suit, seeing as how they are about 5 days behind the others. Give or take a few days per each actual tadpole.


Note: these are not the same frog, it is one of each of our frogs that have their legs.

We decided to put the ones we wanted, or were considering, in our fish bowl, so we could tell them apart. This includes the two that have their front legs already. One of those that we also chose, has his front legs ALMOST out. From what we can tell, the ones in the tank aren't quite there, but getting there. :) They LOVE the algae discs that we have for placos. They attack the damn things the moment we put one in.



We're beginning to wonder how these guys are gonna survive in the wild, because there is NO way we can keep that many frogs and toads.
