Nice pictures. I especially like having the coin in the picture. One of the problems with many nature pictures is grasping the size of something. The coin helps.

i've been thinking of getting a few of these guys myself. the people at target probably just didnt take care of them well unlike what your doing. and if you keep up the good work he could live another 3 years or longer!

Actually the stock tanks of anyplace are just not a good place for dwarf frogs. :\ I know when I worked at Petco they always had a hard time keeping the little guys very long. That or they're not really healthy when they get them in. Seems like more people do well with them in home aquariums for some reason. Glad yours susrvived so long :)
