A frog has been on my porch for a long time, it disappears and then appears at random times. I am thinking about keeping the little guy as a pet, but is that safe for him if i buy a cage big enough and buy worms for him to eat? Is there any type of rules i should know about when keeping a pet that i found outside instead of buying it at a store? Thanks for your help.
