(I dont want to be mean)

Answer:
In general, wildlife is best left alone.
Oh my God! Release it right were you found it! That is counted as animal abuse!
Its okay to keep it for a little while to watch it and stuff, just don't be mean to him, because me and my sister do the same thing but we never are mean to them and we always let it go back into the wild.
hi
just think it like this,u want freedom in whatever u do.so a frog also need freedom.release it now.
Take a breath! You're not going to harm the world by finding yourself a pet frog. I use to adopt tadpoles, toads, and lots of other wildlife when I was a child and there are still plenty of them out there today.

I would ask your parents if it is alright to keep the frog. If they say it isn't, then just return him where you found him but make sure there is nothing there now that's going to endanger him. If your parents say it's ok to keep the frog, then do a little research online or take it to a pet store to find out what species it is and what type of food you should be feeding it.
Chances are, you don't have the knowledge or equipment to properly care for your new frog.
I would suggest letting him loose, reading up on how to care for them, getting the necessary equipment, and then catch another one.
Otherwise, you are probably dooming the frog to a short life, even though you don't mean to.
You seem to realize already that you were wrong to take the frog or toad and bring it home. However, there may be problems now in bringing it back.

First things first. This frog had a niche in the food chain. It was wild, and now it's not. You may have little idea how to care for it, or what type of enclosure to put it in.

Secondly: Most authorities do not recommend releasing captive wildlife back into the wild. If this creature picked up some sort of germ it could release that back into the wild population and wreak havoc.

Wildlife belongs in the wild. Humans have an abundance of pet options available. And that said, imagine how you'd like living your life in a cage. And never being able to interact again with your own kind.

Poor frog.
