Or let the water sit for 24 hours and the chlorine comes out. And the water comes to the temp of your house (the shock of water change will kill them). Frogs are really weak, though, they die easily. So it's not TOTALLY your fault (dude, she got more and those will die quickly, too. Learn now to deal with it by NEVER taking any responsibility for them so it'll never be "your fault" again).<br />So, sorry about your loss and all. That really sucks!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15022148196504545456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202581959303606274.post-45534834368845316592009-12-11T08:41:29.948-07:002009-12-11T08:41:29.948-07:00Maybe the frogs had actually been kidnapped from t...Maybe the frogs had actually been kidnapped from their pond by the pet store owner. And their dad was trying to rescue them. So they played dead so you would flush them down the toilet and they would eventually reach the pond again.

I imagine Maddy would throw a good funeral too. ;-)<br /><br />It actually REALLY scares me to think that our cat will die some day. She recently got very sick and we thought she might die..or worse, that we wouldn't be able to afford the means to heal her. I hate pets that you love and that your kids love. It's the worst!<br /><br />I am so sorry.CarrieAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808091097075888333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202581959303606274.post-80460108387153961932009-12-10T21:01:50.596-07:002009-12-10T21:01:50.596-07:00I am so sorry they didn't make it. It is so tr...I am so sorry they didn't make it. It is so true, when it comes to children and non-bond-forming pets, that what they don't know won't hurt them. What they do know can send them to therapy.<br /><br />What CarrieAnne didn't mention (and when she says the frog bit our brother she neglected the 'and drew blood' part) is that said brother was nicknamed Frog, so the beheaded frog was truly devastating (as well as the old Sea Galley commercials that the older brothers changed from "We've got crab legs" to "We've got frog legs." On the menu. And they told him the frogs were his cousins. Have I mentioned the therapy part?)<br /><br />There is little about frogs and their sense of humor that my family has not already been exposed to. Unfortunately. But if it's any consolation, I got Duncan a little fish tank two years ago for his birthday. We went through no less than five fish and three frogs in less than a month. He quit asking us to replace them.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674207693314828357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202581959303606274.post-72013871199632547682009-12-10T17:50:59.763-07:002009-12-10T17:50:59.763-07:00NG-- They didn't make it.

And it really stinks because if they had stayed dead the first time I could have replaced them before she got home. <br /><br />Pmom-- I think you might be right about the chlorine thing.

So..it could have been worse. (I'm pretty sure this is why my younger brother turned to a life of "easy living" and "womanizing", he's been scarred by this ever since and he's just been looking for some comfort.)CarrieAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808091097075888333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202581959303606274.post-4999240904444420012009-12-10T16:45:29.172-07:002009-12-10T16:45:29.172-07:00I'm definitely no expert on frogs.

If not, do you know if it is for sure safe for frogs like yours to swim in chlorinated water? <br /><br />I don't know if this is relevant, but chlorinated water does kill fish. I don't think twenty minutes is enough to allow the chlorine to dissipate sufficiently. Is it possible that your froggies' senses of humor are fine, but they just felt a bit ill from the water for a while?<br /><br />P.S. Parental guilt over pet death/illness is horrible. Remember, whatever happens, you mean and meant well. Our oldest is still traumatized about a certain butterfly . . . (note to public: butterflies do not make good pets). Meaning well really does count for something.Pmom@ChocolateandGarlic.comhttp://www.chocolateandgarlic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202581959303606274.post-78038917673705673772009-12-10T16:03:15.305-07:002009-12-10T16:03:15.305-07:00Oh that's freaky!

Worked for my mother and about a dozen parakeets over the years. So, you know, in case they ever really do die one day...NGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129806787655566395noreply@blogger.com
