The frog keepers code
I will not keep frogs above my experience level
I will fully research the species I wish to keep before purchasing
I will respect that frogs are living creatures and I will accept the fact they need time to settle
I will make sure I can afford all the necessary equipment, including ongoing food bills before I purchase any frogs
I will set up the vivarium before I purchase any frogs
I will set up the vivarium to the species needs, not my own desires
I will never overlook the importance of UV
I will not take any risks and will always use safe products
I will maintain the temperature and humidity constantly
I will constantly review my husbandry techniques, and improve them were possible
I will always keep the viv clean and well maintained
I will never house any frogs in unsuitable accommodation for as long as they live
I will replace any damaged equipment immodestly
I will always use de-chlorinated water
I will never buy wild caught or illegal stock
I will always value my current frogs and will think long and hard before I buy any more
I will not impulsively buy frogs simply because I want them
When I get a new species I will not neglect my current frogs
I will always quarantine new stock
I will never handle my frogs unless it is for medical reasons
When handling my frogs I will always wear surgical gloves
I will always feed my frogs and will not put it off
I will make sure I have a constant supply of food
I will get new vitamin supplements before they expire
I will take care of the live food and make sure it is well gut loaded
I will never mix any frogs without first having great knowledge and experience with the species involved
If I ever mix species I will have a spare tank set up in case they need separating
I will never mix species from different geographical regions
If my frogs become ill I will contact a vet immediately
I will not try and self treat my frogs without consulting a professional first
I will do what is in my power to keep my frog(s) healthy even if this has added expense and effort
If my frog dies mysteriously I will get a PM done
I will never stress my frogs and put them in any danger
I will only breed unrelated stock
I will never create hybrid frogs
I will not sell frogs under 6 weeks old
I will euthanize any deformed tadpoles or froglets to prevent any further suffering
I will not knowingly sell any frog(s) that are unhealthy
I will not rename frogs in an attempt to get more money
I will not use forums as my main and only source of information
I will never pass on false information
Any information I receive I will confirm before putting into practice
I will respect the keepers who are ahead of me in the hobby
I will offer help to those behind me in the hobby
I will fully research the species I wish to keep before purchasing
