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
This was so wonderful! Thank you, Christina, for introducing our family to this magical amphibian world.
I thought the video was super cool!! I love going out side and looking for amphibians!!
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.
