petsmart
i spent about 70 dollars at the pet store on friday night. most of it was for our class frogs. the tank i have them in smells really bad because i read that frogs shouldn't have a water filter, just plants to keep the water clean. well, the plants weren't doing the trick, and seriously, even growing up on the farm i'd be hard-pressed to remember a smell as bad as when the frog tank was opened. and i cleaned it regularly, too. it just smelled! so i went to petsmart and pleaded for knowledge, and they said that what i read was wrong or something... so i got a water filter, an air pump with a porous air stone, and waste-break-down stuff.
i also got two kitty pads, these electrostatically charged cushy pads that the cats are supposed to be attracted to... they have been laying on them a lot. snuffy slept on it last night instead of sleeping on my bed. crazy.

and petsmart hearts you...
i'm happy to say the frog tank is much cleaner looking and smelling today, and the frogs are more active, i believe. one peculiarity, though: there was a little nook created last time i cleaned the tank, a cave where none of the aquarium rocks went in because there is a piece of driftwood up against the glass. it kept the rocks out but the frogs were able to get in there and sit. three of them were crowded in there, and one was pressed up against the glass. so i used a 12" ruler to move the driftwood cuz i was afraid they'd get stuck in there. well the rocks caved in, and one of the frogs was buried alive! i carefully stirred up the rocks and kermit escaped, and i'll try not to create any more caves in future.
