Ask me anything

ok serious question.. i have 2 African claw frogs & I can't keep them any more.
I posted on craigslist for someone to have them for free & no one response.
I don't want to take them back to the pet store because chances are they will die.
I know you stated you work in a animal shelter & IM talking about amphibians.
But I was thinking..can I let them loose in the Hudson river since I live in manhattan NYC.
will they be able to survive? They are fully aquatic frogs as well.

No, they will most certainty die if dumped into the Hudson. I live fairly close and the river is polluted beyond belief. You have some options:

• Keep them.
  This will assure their health and life.
  
  
• Put them down.
  Worst case scenario. Don't even think about it.
  
  
• Pet store.
  If you have to then give them back to the pet store. They will have a better chance there rather then neglect. (I'm not saying you do.)
  

You are in a very hard position and I understand. Try to keep them or look for a lover of the species and donate it to them.
