An estimated 6000-8000 frogs are transported to Melbourne
annually in produce. These tropical frogs cannot survive in Victoria's
cool climate nor can they be returned to their home state due to fears
of spreading disease. These displaced frogs are cared for at the VFG's
and ARC's Lost Frogs' Home, nursed back to health in quarantine and eventually
placed into a caring home as a family pet.
