Hi Labbies,
Does anyone know what the rules are for keeping frogs (native) in QLD?
I would like to have 1 or 2 frogs for educational purposes only, not to be dissected. I have been doing a bit of research and info is a bit conflicting.
We have set up a tank and a student brought in some Guppies and there happened to be a couple tadpoles in the water collected. It was collected from a students property. I have read that once they begin to change, you have 7 days to return to the original location (within 1km) where they were collected.
If you are to keep a frog, does it have to come from a licensed pet store or can I keep the tadpoles I have, as long as I have a permit?
Any info would be great.
When I worked in SA, we had a green-tree frog so I know of other schools that have frogs for educational purposes.

I know you are serious Dave -- but ---
My cats have no problem with keeping frogs! They bring me one every night!
Very sweetly and nicely and they deposit it at my feet, I promptly take the poor thing back outside into the front garden.
I realised last night that this is the same frog! I recognised the lack of a front leg!
Am I perhaps not taking the hint - and my cats want me to keep it inside out of their way?

Why don't you check with Deb at the Frog Hospital? Seriously, she should know.
