For the first time since 2019, a Sierran Treefrog has been brought into the Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital in Walnut Creek.
Found in a swimming pool and suffering from a leg injury, this small frog has undergone surgery and is now on its way to making a full recovery, according to the Lindsay Wildlife Experience.
Sierran Treefrogs are native to both Central and Northern California. They utilize a wide variety of habitats, often far from water outside of the breeding season, including forest, woodland, chaparral, grassland, pastures, desert streams and oases, underground caves, and urban areas.

Lindsay Wildlife is the best.
Thank goodness he didn’t croak.
That’s worth a thumbs up!

If you have a Bass-o-matic, those will work too.
Fixing frog legs is easy. All you need is a fry pan & some butter… and maybe a larger frog.
Whys everyone such a jerk? Does anyone have respect for animals anymore?
I’m very happy about this REAL NEWS that is life saving and isn’t about homeless encampments, murders, domestic violence, some crazy walking in and performing a usual mass shooting at a school, credit card / gift card scamming…
Shout out to Lindsay Wildlife : you guys are Dope 💯
Did your facetiousness meter break? 😉
@BD, I don’t think anyone here wants to harm a cute little tree frog. Folks are just having fun with the idea of fixing a tree frog. Of course after all that work it would be terrible that upon release a bird swoops down seeing lunch has been made available or maybe it’s a neighborhood cat seeing same.
Hat’s off to LSM. everything else aside (politics, lot’s to work on) These people are doing good work and should be applauded even if it takes a tree frog to get them noticed. Been around my entire life ad I have enjoyed them.
LWE as the website now says
Love Lindsey Wildlife museum. Took my daughter there when she was growing up, even though we lived in Foster City. Have also been there with my granddaughter and step granddaughter. It’s a feel good story don’t get the negative comments and thumbs down. He is a cute little guy.
He looks like bait. I thought the museum was concerned with animals a little higher up the food chain. Don’t get me wrong tho… I appreciate their work but I’m not going to get emotional over a tree frog…. I’d say my concern level begins at snakes and progresses up from there. Amphibians the size of a dime just don’t register on my G.A.S. meter.
Frogs, snakes, lizards are not cute and cuddly like kittens, puppies etc. I personally don’t care for snakes, don’t understand people that want them as pets. However, I hate to see any living thing humans and animals suffer. I do have a special spot for frogs, growing up, we had a pond on the land where my dad grew vegetables, and on quiet summer nights the frogs would sit on the top of the water lily’s and you could hear them vocalizing, even in the house although the pond was not right next to the house. I think Lindsey Wildlife Museum is concerned with all animals.
The frog was so hoppy it didn’t croak
