Hi,

I hope someone can offer good advice! (I've rung 3 people so far, including my vet, who tried...but...)

I've just found a young (2") common frog in my garden with no eyes. Totally blind. He's, not surprisingly, on the thin side. Is there anything I can do to help him? I will gladly feed him by hand if that's what it takes...or..would it be kinder to humanely dispatch him? I could, of course, just kick him out of the large tank he's currently in while I look for advice, but I think that's unkind to leave him to a slow starvation if I can help.
I offered him some freshly dug small worms but he didn't take them. However, he's bright enough to climb up the wood in the 3' tank to try and get out!

Help appreciated. Thanks
