Other than Romeo needing a make over...

...first cloning to provide a mate. Frogs are remarkably adaptable, but, once the cloning has gone well, try another clone only introduce a female gene. It is Romeo's only chance for love and genetic engineering is the way to go. A gentle scraping of his skin should commence as soon as possible. The effort needs to be connected to a lab with marine experience, such as FIT or better yet, UNCW. 

Romeo needs a "Go Fund Me" site, too. Good luck.

There’s a chance a frog (click here) who lives in a tank in a Bolivian museum is the last of his species. But he reportedly hasn’t given up hope, if one can ascribe hope to a frog. The male Sehuencas water frog continues to make mating calls from within his confinement at Bolivia’s Cochabamba Natural History Museum.

Conservation biologists haven’t given up hope either. They tend to hate watching species they study go extinct. So a group of local scientists have named him Romeo and created a dating profile for the frog on website Match.com, in hopes of endearing him and his plight to the masses.

“Not to start this off super heavy or anything, but I’m literally the last of my species,” the profile reads.

Match.com is matching donations to fund the effort to scour habitats for Romeo’s mate through Valentine’s day, February 14, 2018....
