Tiddlelick and Fred




Last month we gained to new pets - Tiddlelick and Fred. They arrived via the Jesy mobile. A friend of hers at her work caught them in their pond for the kids. They're super cool Wood Tree Frogs.

Fred, Carter's frog, is quiet and just likes to hang out and have an occasional bath. Fred it almost always stuck in a corner just hanging out. Fred leans toward the green side, but stays a bit on the grey side most of the time.

Tiddlelick, Athena's frog, is just plum crazy. Tiddlelick likes to be a burnt red color and tries continuously to escape - hanging upside down from the mesh roof of the aquarium. Tiddlelick also talks, normally about 2pm every day. Gorgeous sound which requires her (we don't know if it's a her) to fill her whole body up with air.

Both eat crickets; about two dozen each week.

Once the blueberry patch opens up in a few weeks, Patrick, the kids and the frogs will come out to visit me and then we'll return the frogs to their pond home.

They will be missed. As far as pets go, these two are easy peasy.
