Feeding Frogs?

[DrKate]

I am the local university amphibian biologist...

I did think of that, actually. All of your comments have included "if the local population is healthy" which is a fine caveat to make. My point in suggesting a local biologist as a resource is that they would be able to say whether the population in question is, in fact, healthy enough to tolerate the amount of collecting the person anticipates doing. As of yet I don't think we know either a location or a frog species in Ibkukin's case...

Oh, and best of luck with the rest of your training!

Interesting discussion, I hope it stays that way.

Just to continue on that note, my biggest concern is going to be the overall situation, until the IUCN gets around to doing a Red List of North American amphibians.
