croaker

T (5yrs) caught a little frog the other day and he's typically insisted on keeping it. He's a creature fanatic. Unfortunately he doesn't quite grasp the idea of CARING for an animal. He's so interested in it that he always wants to hold it and play with it and almost experiment with it. The interest is nice but I sometimes feel sorry for the critters. His latest little critter, Croaker the frog, was probably an easy catch since he has only one eye. He has a nice new habitat (though it's all plastic except the water) and so far he's survived about three days.
