I just caught some neighborhood kids kicking and throwing a frog around. It's still alive and I set it in an enclosure but how long should I keep him in there and what signs should I look for? He's moving and jumping but the kids threw him at least five times and kicked him repeatedly.is there anything I can do for it or will it be ok?
Answers:
if hes moving around thats good. hes alive and not hurt toooo bad. mist his enclosure with water.
go to a pet store and get a few crickets, but only put one at a time in the tank with him.
you can feel his rib area and his legs for any broken bones sticking out, but theres not much you can do besides keep him healthy till they heal.
you can try to feed him a guppy or two, but dont feed him goldfish. theyre not healthy and are usually full of parasites
heres some random frog and toad care sheets.. try googling frog or toad, then click on images and compare him to various pics to get an idea on what type of frog he is.
good luck

It sounds like he'll survive. Tomorrow, take him to someplace nearby where frogs live.
Then, keep an eye on those future serial-killer neighbor kids..if pets start disappearing, call the police!
See if a reptile rescue group can help with your questions before you feed it anything and before you release it again. They have fragile skin and may have injuries you don't know. And keep in mind, in some anal retentive states, it's illegal to keep any wild thing in captivity. Really makes it hard to be good to animals.
