the color does fade over time because when they are little they are fed a dyed food that is harmless, to those of you who think its cruel. I have 2 and love them very much. there just albino african clawed frogs. they havnt gotten any bigger than 3 inches. i find it funny that most people think its cruel when its not.
I found through genetics they were able to unlock the color code. It lets the frogs have no pigment and then something with color comes in. Like all old things they lose color as they go. Like a black horse getting lighter with aghe, or a dog turning grey. Even people lose pigament in their hair. Do yoiu get the point? You need to get your facts straight first before you just yell things out. Thinck logically and rationally.
Sometimes we are able to get frogs that are bio-dyed for amusment and interest. This process does not hurt the frog in any way. In fact, this coloration may fade somewhat over several months. It does't hurt them and if it were cruel then they would be banned from doing it. So don't worry, I am sure it is in a humane way, no boiling(that would kill the frogs), it's no different from albino frogs...
Anyway they also wouldn't be tatooed(tooo stressful for a little frog), no acid(think about it, acid burns/kills a little frog wouldn't stand a chance.) If taken good care of they can live to be 15years old. I actually got two now and have been looking them over closely for any signs of abuse. They have a 5 gallon tank all to themselves, and they seem happy.
Apparently many states in america ban this type of frog and some pet shops get around the ban by dying the frogs and marketing them as 'jellybeans' or 'tutti frutti' as above. Do not fund this cruel trade and only buy from reputable breeders.
Yes, I agree. I would never buy one. The pet shop owner did not ask for these. He ordered regular ones as he usually does and these showed up in the shipment. (????)
This is a cruel practice that is also used on fish. The breeder dyes the animals by either injection or soaking them in dye. This is harmful to the animal and can cause problems with health long after the dye has faded. Hardly seems worth it for our short term amusement.
how did you managed to film this. Usually pet shops disallow photographing or filming their animals less they be brought up on cruelty to animals charges.
LOL. Well,..i got permission. I am friendly with this shop. Besides, though opinions differ, I hardly think that a "dyed" frog would fall under any current Animal Cruelty laws. ha!
oh it is very harmful, almost none of them survive the injection process, and even out of those few, almsot all of them don't survive till full grown age, so basically the cahnce of them living for long is about 5%
These frogs have had their skin burned off in a bucket of acid, then they have been dumped in a bucket of dye, then finally left to recuperate. their skin grows back in time, but they are left with the dye under their skin. the injection process is worse, you can tell which way they have been dyed because tatooed ones usually have patterns and lips on them in different colours, stupid things like that.
@TheCryptid09 rofl by the time the acid would have disintegrated the skin, the PH sensitive frog would have been dead 10 times over. you do know that a sign of a contaminated pond is a lack of frogs? because their skin is so sensitive it indicates whether certain water is palatable to animals. u jew
i am getting one today!i want an athletic one....can you help give my some tips about wich ones are more athletic??

These people commenting are fucking retarded. Their eggs are dyed with food coloring, which is harmless. Some may find it cruel, but they are fine.

I talked to Katie about Bluey. She said that her color was starting to fade - it was a "Tutti Fruitti Frog".
