| I had the privilege of adopting Marvin in early February, 2001. I had won $50 on a frog-themed slot machine in Reno and knew I had to adopt a frog with the winnings as soon as I got home. Marvin is an Argus Reed frog (native to the African Arbuko-Sokoke Forest) who's only 2" big. He smiles, sings and jumps far distances despite his disability. For most of his life he has been blind in one eye and can't hunt crickets by himself, so I feed him beef baby food mixed with a calcium serum through a syringe every other day. He has triumphed over many obstacles and constantly inspires me. He makes me so proud to be his frogmom and I make sure he knows that. I believe that Herbie and Scarlet, his frog angels who crossed over, watch over him and keep him company. Marvin has jumped into a special place in my heart. | |
