Yesterday evening, I had setup a tank to grow out some displaced green tree frog tadpoles.

These tadpoles were spawned in a bucket and before long would have been subject to untenable living conditions.

As an experiment, I decided to allocate a spare aquarium to provide care and a proper environment for them to grow, and from which to observe their growth and metaphamorphasis.

Shortly before bed, and during observation of the tadpoles, a full grown Green Tree Frog emerged from underneath my bed.

He seemed to have gained entry to the house at some point during the previous days, and had become dehydrated, and was suffering from all kinds of dust and fluff and dog hair stuck onto his skin, and was clearly in an exhausted state.

Such was his exhaustion and desperation the allowed me to handle him without much resistance.

I put him into an immediate care plan. He was immersed in a solution of honey dissolved in water for 5 mins, before being moved to a container with some of the cycled aquarium water (dechlorinated). 

Note: tap water is highly toxic to frogs due to the chlorine content.

Before long, he was looking much more alert and hydrated. 

I kept him contained overnight and by morning he had shifted from a vivid, bright green (stress colour in frogs) to a more subdued olive green. 

He was released without incident into the pot-plants at the backyard.
