Banana Box Frog Rescue

[Catherine]

There is a real problem with frogs hitching a ride with bananas and other produce.  These poor frogs didn't know the fruit they were hiding on was about to be picked. They are totally vulnerable and it often ends badly for them. Frogs are so fragile and vulnerable. I am glad to hear that there are some places where people are trying to save them.

I am glad they are inspecting fruit before shipping to remove hitchhiking wildlife. It would be a terrifying experience for a little creature. It would have no idea what is happening. Why should it suffer because we feel this need to ship stuff all over the planet.

I am currently raising a very tiny lizard that probably was shipped on a tropical plant. It was less than an inch long when it was found on the floor. I have it in a tiny little container and I feed it very tiny insects. After a month it has doubled in size. It is now a tiny lizard. It is so cute, but how many of these little lizards are never found in time or found by someone who knows how to feed them.
