Handling a Frog

[nagukush]

Hi Friends,

Hope all is well !

Just wanted to request you to kindly guide me on how do I hold a frog (incase the need arises - if they get out of the tank etc). Can I just hold them between my index finger and thumb or do I cup them inside the palm. I've really never handled frogs before and I'm just a little excited / afraid as these are tiny frogs and that I may injure them or get myself injured. Please guide me a little on this.

Thanks and Regards
Kush

If the need arises to handle a frog,grasp it just under it's front pair of legs, cupping your hands to handle it could result in the frog jumping from you and injuring/killing itself.

Make sure you have clean hands if you do have to handle them. Amphibians have very sensitive skin that easily absorbs any oils/toxins on your hands.
