Hello,
It's been about forever since I last visited the forum. I moved to Hawaii for work about a year ago and had to give my frogs away as they are illegal to import to HI. I managed to find...
These set ups are great for gabf! It's the only way I'd want to keep them (except for as small babies). I have a 40 gallon breeder set up for my adult male. It's about 70% water and 30% land. I had a...
Mattfish, can you share your source of info for the natural history of the species? I would like to read more about their time spent away from water. Thanks.
In case a second opinion makes you feel any better- I 100% agree with Lija's post. Looks like an injury and I too see the healed nose rub. Either there is something your frog is scraping its nose on...
Hi folks,
Been a while since I posted, but I need to get back at it. I have a fantastic new little budgett's frog to show off later.
Anyway, I was hoping to get some insight into ceramic heat...
So sorry about your frog :(
It sounds like she was well cared for and you were very observant and hands on.
I don't see anything obvious, but there is the remote possibility that there was...
Your care plans sound good to me. I don't know about the snails, but it sounds a little risky to me. What kind of snails? I'm hoping to get my first budgett's frog in the next few months. Maybe we...
Sorry about your vet appointment. How frustrating!
I don't see any reason to quarantine the frog (it's not like she has tankmates to begin with). I recommend that you keep her in her regular...
I don't want to speculate, especially since that incident was an isolated accident. But it's possible that it may have something to do with her current symptoms.
It's worth mentioning to the vet,...
I'm going to copy this answer directly from my Amphibian Medicine and Captive Husbandry textbook by Kevin M Wright (regarded as one of the best books in amphibian medicine/research)
"Horn frogs,...
Aggressive fish and frogs do not mix. The frogs will try to eat any fish (even if they seem to big) and the fish will bully or scare the frogs. I'd recommend keeping the frog separate and (not that...
Sorry to hear that. They are fragile creatures. Glad to hear that you were going to the vet though! Sounds like you tried your best.
I second Tony's suggestion of trying a live worm. You can pick up some nightcrawlers from Walmart (in the fishing section). Cut the worm into 3" pieces and try to hand feed. Drives every frog crazy....
Woah. I don't keep ADFs and I'm not terribly familiar with sexing them. But Flipper looks very thin. Emaciated even. What and how often are you feeding him/her? How old is it?
He looks skeletal with...
To answer your question: Yeah, I think your frog looks healthy. Looks can be deceiving, but a few days off food isn't cause for concern (yet). There is a chance she is impacted, but it's not terribly...
I wholeheartedly agree. Petsmart/Petco really aren't an ideal place to purchase any live pet (unless you are adopting through their rescue-run adoption centers).
I bought pets from Petsmart as a...
Thanks for the input folks! I'll look into other options.
Thanks for reading!
I have an empty 20g long tank taunting me. I've never owned a tree frog, but have been interested in getting a white's for almost 4 years now. I bought a book way back when, but...
Hi folks. I have a spare 20 gallon long that is not only taking up space in my living room, but also tempting me to fill it will new critters :). I really don't space to set it up unless I use it...
I pop on craigslist from time to time to check for anyone rehoming frogs. I usually post an add every couple months too saying that I'm willing to adopt unwanted frogs. It's not that I'm really...
Do you have any more photos?
Based on this one pic it's a little hard to be sure. But my first thought is yes, piebald. The areas of no pigment will appear yellow, this is expected. Piebald frogs...
Please answer the Trouble in the Enclosure questions so that we have all the background info.
Those are some pretty significant injuries. He isn't just missing claws he is missing entire toes. Do...
You've got some good advice from other members, I'll just add on to what they've told you.
I agree that the initial injury is a nose rub caused by the frog repeated hitting its face on the glass in...
Hi Samantha,
The symptoms you describe could potentially be red leg, but they could also be something else. Please answer the questions below and post pictures of your frog and set up. In the...
Hi bddkec,
Welcome to the forum. Yes, you are taking a risk housing these species together. Please keep an eye out for aggression. I'm unable to enlarge your photos for some reason, but your...
