General Frog AdviceBy intechwpadmin / August 30, 2023 Advice Title Advice Content Visual Code Frogs and other amphibians are very sensitive to changes in their environment and may show the effects of these changes sooner than other species in the same location. Australia is home to over 200 species of frog, most of which are only found here. To protect these unique species, it is very important to understand what is happening with Australian frog populations. <strong>Handling frogs:</strong> Frog skin is extremely sensitive and can be damaged by the natural chemicals and bacteria that are on your hands.
