The
Import is a special frog! He is named The Import because he came
with us from Canada, where he grew up in a swampy area. We learned
that some people hunted his swamps, for frogs to use as... fishing
bait! This struck me as very cruel and unnecessary, so we decided to
rescue Import from such a fate. We caught him on the last day of a
Canadian excursion, and he travelled home with us in a coffee cup! The
Import, rather than become fish food, now happily spends his days in a
nice mossy terrarium, trapping crickets, and still believing he is in
the wild! (Just don't let him know he isn't... he thinks he still is!)
Now two inches in length, he has reached his adult size, and he can
safely live out his days lazing about his tank.
