Had a surprise when I checked my hooker cup for water.

amazing, wonder how it get itself inside the pitcher, nice looking frog:smile:

It's so cute!

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

Poor frog..It must have accidentally jumped into the pitcher and found itself in an unknown place

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

If u don't safe it, it'll probably die in the pitcher sooner or later...

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

i dont think so ler, maybe it was clever and thinking of full day enzyme treatment+ anti sunlight house in the pitcher ler...haha
But, will it stuck inside there? hmm...curious...haha

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

i have seen even bigger one , but sitting in the pot , not into the pitcher

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

Cute isn't it!! I think it should be able to come out by itself

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

This will be a hard task for the frog to get out there again. I doubt that the frog will get digested. I've seen photos of dartfrogs breeding succesfull in ampullaria pitchers. But the ready developed young frogs needed a climbing aid to get out of the pitcher.

I found one in my veitchii x platychila pitcher the other day. When I shook the pitcher it just submerged itself deeper underwater :spinning:

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

I think it will stay there till the pitcher dies off. Most probably found a rich supply of foo(insects) to feed on, must be enjoying itself in a nice spa :smile:

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

it wont die but enjoy the coolness and safety surrounded by the amp wall. If you check late evening it will disappear and return to the same pitcher next day.

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

robert, u mean it purposely go into it but not fall into it accidentally? and it is going out to hunt for food and then can come back somemore ??

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

The frog is not there anymore when I checked this morning. I think it got in there on purpose as it usually seeks cool and wet places. Have encountered bigger ones sitting in pot but this is first in cup. Will see if it returns.

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

it might hide in other pitcher in other plants.. look around

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

yea, it's no accident. I have encounter frogs in my pitchers. They come and disappear. sometimes they lay eggs too.

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

Nice... mother nature never sieze to amaze me... :smile:

Re: See who dropped in for a drink
 

The frogs should benefit the plant by excreting inside the pitcher. If you go to nurseries where they sell lots of pitcher plants, you may occasionally see frogs inside them. Most of the time, they are found in mirandas.

Yeah, agree, especially they were letting away their waste product and protein from their baby...
