    Hi Christina,

    Weston and I just watched Amorous Amphibians for Earth Day. We were surprised at the size of the salamander egg sack.

    Nice video!
    Take Care,
    Julie & Weston Schick

    We have a small tree frog living in potted plants inside the house, our location is just south of Bay Hay & Feed. We put the frog out 4X but it just comes back in to the house. I started putting out wax worms but don’t know how many to feed the frog. Started with 2 worms and followed up by just one /day.
