The frogs survived being hassled by my roommates in college from plastic Cowboys & Indians to....
our "pet" Pinchy. (Who was only with us for a few hours, until he made for a delicious little snack.)
Once Nick & I got married, we added all the frogs together, at which time we each had 2 left.
The four frogs lived very happily together over the years, even thought their numbers slowly began to decrease.
We were down to 2 frogs until this past fall...both of which made it to 10 years old! The normal life expectancy of a red-eyed tree frog is between 5-6 years!
Finally, today we lost our very last one :( They have been fun to watch...at night that is, as they are asleep all day long.
Rumor has it Nick has his eyes on some (non)poisonous dart frogs next! I don't even want to know how much money we spent on crickets over a 10 year period!
