Has anyone had to fill-out/send a Permit to own ADF's wether its in NJ or anywhere else? I decided to purchase two today from PetSmart and they made me fill out a permit for each.
African Dwarf Frog Permit in NJ

We cannot advocate the breaking of laws on this site. Anyways, why would you? Its the people that break the rules that way that will get the animal outlawed altogether, and ruin it for those who actually follow the rules.
Why would you do that? It doesn't cost anything does it? Even if it did why would you want to keep the frogs illegally?JoeRags3 said:
Personally for something that requires a permit, I think they should make you actually get the permit before you buy the animal itself.
why do ya even need a permit in the first place??.....for ADF's?? i do not understand what am i missing here??
because those frogs are extremely dangerous, if you release them to the wild they will hmm.....hop around.
Hi,
I live in B.C. Canada and they don't have those laws here. It must be N.J. thing. They probably don't have those laws in Canada because its to cold for ADF to live.

Thats my point exactly! Please don't get me wrong, I don't plan on breaking the law anyway, nor do I advocate others breaking the law, if I need to get a permit to own an animal then that's fine. But I do thinks its a little silly that its now required to pay $10 annually to keep an ADF, especially when according to NJSA 23:2A-5 ADF are not listed as a species required to have a permit, African CLAWED Frogs are. I dunno maybe I just dont understand the reasoning behind the permit for a small harmless frog.corykid said:

N.J. REGULATIONS –
Possession of Nongame & Exotic Wildlife
Subchapter 4. Nongame and Exotic Wildlife
"7:25-4.5 Additional Species
A permit shall be required for any other exotic mammals, birds,
reptiles, or amphibians, or nongame species not specifically
exempted by Section 4.4."
The language in the required permit list section also stated "...not limited to....", and adfs were not exempted in Section 4.4. That is their catch all.
I have worked on writing government regs for 20 years...sorry...they got ya...
