I mean no offense to anyone, but please understand it is never a good idea to surprise someone with a pet (unless you have heard them say they want it)
Especially an exotic/unusual pet that has maintenance needs that can be very expensive or difficult to maintain, and not everything on the internet is true.
I don't know the details, but perhaps little frog would still be alive if left in its environment?

Yes... I agree with you Sophie....

A student girl gave it to my daughter because she had a lab practice in the school and after that she didn't know what to do with the frog.

We tried to get the frog alive, but we didn't know anything about her :-(

Aww I'm sorry about your frog.

The intentions behind the gift are always good (friendship, love...) but not always well thought out.

And frogs are hard to keep; you tried to give it a home, and that was a nice thing to do.

I would like to say here, anyone needs any kind of advice on exotics, I can help, just PM me (and if I don't know, I have a biologist friend with over 20 years experience on everything weird)

So I went into the other room to clean my birds water bowl. When I got back, he was on top of his cage! Usually, I would leave his cage door open while I get him his seed or if I clean his water bowl and he never bothered leaving his cage, but I guess he felt confident today. While I tried to get him back in his cage, he flew onto the ground and started running away from me. I finally got him back in his cage but he definitely wasn't happy about It! He is quite a suborn one!
