Found a froggie. Now what?
We found a little frog in my grandmother's bathroom sink (have no idea how he got in there) but anyway, I couldn't put him outside since its December and bound to get cold. I was thinking he could wait out the winter here indoors.
I think it is a grey tree frog, but I'm not sure. Pictures to come tomorrow night. Right now he's in a tupperware bowl with a lid punched with holes. I'm about to move him to a small kritter keeper (its all I have) with some moss.
Any idea what this little frog eats. Required temps? Humidity?

Re: Found a froggie. Now what?
well if he was living in your bathroom, i wouldnt think he was very fragile. He'd prolly eat crickets or small pin head crickets. prolly just misting the cage everyonce in a while would do ideal for the little bugger

Depending how long he was in your house will determine if he will make it until then. I second the moss, plants for coverage and misting.. you can try to get crickets wed and see what happens. Good luck!

Re: Found a froggie. Now what?
Frogs Are very fragile. He probably somehow got up through the floorboards or baseboards; this happens in our house as well. Is her house old? Ours is; it is over 100 years old. Hence, the wild mouse population in our house (though our cat tries!) Unless he got in through the drain; not sure if your G-ma has a septic tank/system, which might be linked to a drain or vent that he could've entered..
It is kind of tough to advise what to do now. There are actually laws that prohibit the capture and re-release of certain amphibians, in some states. This is because a released frog could feasably transmit a foreign pathogen from your house to the wild population. Hibernating frogs can be tricky; I have never personally done it in captivity, though frogs were my first herp love.. I do not want to advise you wrong. I would think that you could keep him in summertime-temperatures, in a tank, but then the whole re-release dilemma comes into play.
