Frog Care when You're on Vacation

What to do with your frog when you're away or on vacation is a tricky problem. Many people are squeamish of the live insects frogs love to eat, and therefore aren't as open to caring for your pet while you're away. Finding someone to care for your frog will be easy when you read this article, though!

Who will care for your frog?

1. Ask your local herp or companion animal veterinarian if they petsit animals while their owners are on vacation. Though this is the most expensive option, your frog will probably receive the best care possible here. 
2. If you're looking for something cheaper than a vet to petsit your frog, be sure to look for local pet-sitting businesses. They will probably care for your frog for a cheaper price than the veterinarian. 
3. And if you're looking for free pet-sitting and some basic care, you can always ask your neighbors, friends, and close family to care for your frog while you're away. Remember, however, than unless your relatives and friends are informed about frogs, your frog will definitely NOT get the top-notch care it would receive in a vet's office. 
4. Another option that most people don't use is taking your pet with you on vacation. At most pet stores, you can find transportable cages and plastic habitats to easily transport your frog in. This is like setting up another terrarium, though, and is NOT the most easy way to care for your frog while on vacation. 

Keep in mind that people might be more willing to care for your frog while you're away if you offer to pay them for taking care of your frog.

Before letting friends, neighbors, or relatives take care of your frog, you will need to show them exactly what's supposed to be done. They will need to change water daily, feed at least every other day, turn light on and off daily, and mist with water daily.

Always make sure your frog gets the best possible care while you're away on vacation.
