Frog blog

 These are my frogs before I moved them to a more spacious aquarium.  Cute little buggers, aren't they?


Have I mentioned lately that I have two frogs?  Well, I do.  For all those out there who have been 
living under a rock since Christmas, they are African Dwarf frogs, their names are Pork and Beans, and recently I moved them from their tiny plastic cube into a nice tank that has plants and pretty gravel.  The latest addition to the tank was a water filter, and I'm afraid that it might have had a really negative effect on the them.  Ever since I put it in the tank, all they do is hide.  They have not been eating, they have changed to a really light color and because of the lack of food, they have shrunk (weird).  I know what you're thinking- just turn the filter off!  I had the same thought about four days ago, so I did.  They have eaten a couple of times since then, but they haven't changed back to their normal color and are still really lethargic.  I'm afraid I've done irreparable damage.  I was really hoping that I could keep these guys alive.  Some of you know about my abysmal track record with fish (4-7 has seen many toilet funerals) and I thought I was doing the right thing by moving the frogs to a better environment but I might have killed them.  I'm not really that attached to them (they're frogs; they are not furry or snuggly and they don't exactly love you back) but I feel responsible for their lives and I really don't want them to die.  They have no control over what happens to them.  It's all me.  And I'm really trying to not screw it up.
