There is a cafe local to me which has a green tree and graceful tree frog on display. Amazingly, graceful tree frog is yet to be eaten by its much larger cage mate. Besides this, the cage bottom is in an inch of water, the entire cage is saturated and there is no dry spot for them. When I politely suggested to the owner that a water bowl is better because all that water isn't good for them as they need a dry place, she barked that they had lived like that for over a year and were therefore fine. The green tree frog was hiding inside a half submerged log and looked black in colour. When I suggested she keep an eye out for infections (they get horrible ones when they don't properly dry out), she walked away. I understand these cafe workers are not herpetologists, but when some advice is given by someone who is being polite and helpful who seems to know their stuff, being rude isn't going to help the frogs. What do I do? Leave a frog care booklet, or just leave them to die?
