Mr. Froggy

2 weeks ago Auntie Monica helped Breanna catch a toad at Brendan's football game.  She brought it home in a plastic cup....holding a lid on over it as it tried to jump out on the way home.

Her new "pet"  got hours devoted to making a home for it in a lovely box.  She decorated the box with a "slide" (stick), playground (all the rocks), swimming pool (bowl with water) and of course leaves, and grass.  The toad loved to hide and spent lots of time getting in and out of the "swimming pool".

We tried feeding it flies, a spider, fruit and then resorted to buying tiny crickets from the pet store (that is what they told us he would eat).

Breanna spent hours on our front porch with "Mr.Froggy".  She would hold him, check on him, watch him and loved him. 

Unfortunately he died from not eating ANYTHING....but, she did take great care of him (for a 4 year old).  And yes.......I made her wash her hands after EVERY time she touched him.....I was paranoid of what might be brought in the house from touching him.  Until we find another pet toad she has been collecting worms and rolly polly's again :)
