How do you care for a frog?

Today I found a frog in my celery that I was going to use for my thanksgiving dinner. It is a live and I dont know what to do with it. I cant tell what kind of frog it is. It is tiny about the size of a quarter. How do I care for it and what do they need to survive. What do they eat? I am at a loss because I cant set it free I live in the desert. Please Help

Its care will depend greatly on what species it is, for now i would put it into a small container (make sure there are a few holes, a tupperware container should be fine) then put some damp dirt on the bottom, making sure that it is damp but not wet. Put in a piece of bark (well rinsed) for him to hind under. Make sure he stays warm and try to id him online or bring him to a pet store as soon as u can.

    It is most likely some variety of tree frog which is native to where ever the celery was grown.
    It needs a moist warm environment with a cover so it can't get out. some fine gravel or potting soil, some foliage to hide in, or it may just dig into the soil. a dish for water and some food. It may be able to eat pinhead crickets, fruit flys, etc. Tomorrow you can go to a good pet store and get what ever they sell for non aquatic frogs. Then get on the web and see if you can find out what kind it is.

    Post a picture; what it needs to live depends on its species.
