Hoppy!!

Last week, we woke up to this little guy on our front door. His ribbit could be heart throughout the house...and the boys were mesmerized by him!





After watching him for about 30 minutes we decided to try to capture him...I was a bit leery, but it was a smooth capture...Hoppy didn't try anything funny, he surrendered quite easily!



We then proceeded to head to the pet store for crickets and a small container. Hoppy seemed to adjust well to his new environment...and had no problem snatching up his prey in front of us!





We kept him for about a week. His container was placed outside for most nights due to his incessant ribitting...but after we ran out of crickets, and the boys lost interest, we decided to free the little guy into the garden!

I'm sure Hoppy won't be the first animal to grace our home...I might have to draw the line at snakes, spiders, and dead animals (Zach has asked to keep a dead rat before!)
