Near disaster! - Aquarium Advice

**Zagz** · 06-11-2006, 08:12 PM

I was looking through my recycling bin for a paper I had lost when I discovered Ozzy, one of my albino clawed frogs in the bin. I almost had a heart attack I swear. I scooped her up and threw her back in her tank and resecured the top better. I have no idea how long she was out of the tank but she scared me half to death. She seems to be doing fine now, I did a pwc just in case. She had a bit of cat hair on her.

How she made it from the tank, across the room and down the hall and into a closet without a cat getting her I'll never know.

That is quite interesting. Glad she's fine... How's she doing now?

My clawed frog has escaped twice. both times i found her in the opposite corner of the room, dried out. both times she has recovered fully after sheading her outer skin layer/ slime.

Glad you found it before there was any long term damage.

I wonder if the CAT kinda helped him move that far and probably quite fast.
