Contact who you got it off and if they have a licence give it back to them until you get a licence, is that allright to do?

 

[JoshMVG]

I have a license they dont

What state are you in and what species of frog? Some species you won't require a license depending on your state.

You can ring FATS or SOFAR, they usually take in frogs brought in via fruit/ veggie deliveries i believe

THanks bearded lady

has any body had personal experience with this matter?

ne one?

Anybody know what happens to the frogs that are handed in to SOFAR/FATS

ask them what they do.

What type of frog?

I'm not condoning this, but if its one frog and one off keep it hush hush and give it a good home. Any frog group are just going to dish it out to one of their members and NPWS will either let you keep it, confiscate it and dish it out in a raffle or kill it.

Sometimes things like this happen, and it isn't in the best interests of frogs at the moment to go releasing them somewhere they didn't come from with the fungal diseases getting around. So keep it or make the decision to let NPWS do what they want.

Just read the frog rescue site and it sounds like you might be able to keep it after 8 weeks if its not sick or deseased or something, providing you have a license of course.
