PIPERIS, Roberto Elías; BERENGUEL COOK, Raúl; REATEGUI GUZMAN, Erick e J.WEAVER, Thomas. Rehabilitation and maintenance in captivity of High Andean frogs (Telmatobius spp) confiscated in Lima, Peru. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.6, e21689. Epub 05-Out-2021. ISSN 1609-9117. http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rivep.v32i6.21689.
Frogs of the genus Telmatobius are among the most trafficked wildlife species in Peru because they are captured as a source of food or because they are attributed medicinal properties. Between 2012 and 2013, the Wildlife Laboratory of the Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia received and kept close to 400 High Andean frogs (Telmatobius spp) from confiscation made at La Parada Market in La Victoria, Lima by the Technical Forestry and Wildlife Administration of Lima. In this study, information compiled as a result of work done in the rehabilitation and maintenance of these specimens in captivity is provided.
