frog steroids

Ecologists worldwide are noticing a disturbing trend in the earth's amphibian population. Pollution, global warming and the human race are all encroaching on the natural habitat of the planet's amphibians, especially the humble frog. Some species have reacted in retaliation, by developing a taste for certain trace elements and proteins found in man-made environments, like office buildings. The trace elements and proteins found in office grime are remarkably similar to anabolic steroids, as used by some athletes and body-builders. A recent experiment shows the effects of the 'frog steroids' ingested by a laboratory frog in Sydney, Australia.

I am concerned that young frogs are being abused in this way. Please stop or the sweat from my eyes shall wet the ground.

Is it possible to rent Toots for a day? And is it true that they just keep getting bigger and bigger? He's cute. So's she. Can you rent her too?
