Cricket

Poor, poor Jorja's frog Cricket died today. Cricket was one of her barking tree frogs. She had this frog for almost a year. She loved it. It was weird because he was totally fine last night. Jorja checks on them several times a day. This morning he was starting to look sick. We took him out of the big cage and into a little one, but he just got worse. Once frogs get sick, they die pretty quickly. Jumper got sick a few days ago but seems to be doing better. We moved him away from Cricket because we have read that frog diseases are very contagious (to other frogs). I don't know if he got what Jumper had, but we were kind of wondering if it was Red Leg disease. The only other thing that was different was Mike turned on the fogger and forgot about it. I don't think that would have done anything bad to the frog . . . especially since it was fogging in distilled water. Anyway Jorja is so sad. She hugged me and cried. Then she said, "At least he's with Hopper now."
