    Re: Autoclaving for Driftwood?

    Thank you! I figure it might not be worth the risk at this point. I found some ghost wood at a great price (if you're interested, it's from saveoncrafts.com). I'll probably end up using that!

    Re: Autoclaving for Driftwood?

    Thank you very much for the information! I was thinking more along the lines of microbial pathogens, but the heat/lethality chart for termites was fantastic too.

    Autoclaving for Driftwood?

    I'm very interested in using some sturdy freshwater driftwood for a potential vivarium. Normally, I wouldn't try it, but I now have access to an autoclave--which should be able to get rid of most if...

    Thanks for your response, Michael--unfortunately, after a few days went by without a response, I figured no one was interested. I ended up finding a web site that sells the springtails in bulk. I...

    Re: Unnecessary Hitchhiker?

    Thanks for your input! The tank is in a very quiet room already, and I'll test the water tonight--although I've been doing PWC's on average about every 36 hours, so I don't know how accurate it would...

    Re: Unnecessary Hitchhiker?

    Hi again everyone,

    I know that it seems people are as stumped as I am about my frog's condition--but I just have to vent a little bit. This is Week 3 without taking any food. I even dropped...

  11. Re: Any possible help for ADF before it's too late? :(

    Some keepers have found that frozen bloodworms contribute to bloat, especially in ADF's. Unfortunately, I'm no expert but I don't think there's much you could do, except give him a "weak" salt bath....

    It's essentially a special-needs creature now, and it had the good fortune of finding someone who actually cares about frog health. I would just keep it. Also, maybe I missed this, but I was...

    Today, she tried to swim a little bit but seemed to tire out after a few minutes and went back into her hide. Her breathing seems a bit shallower than usual. I also think I've found 2...

    Re: ACF with soft bloat

    Hi again,

    The main problem I see is that your frog tank has been under-filtered. Rather than a filter rated for a 20 gallon tank, you should have found one rated for 40 gallon tanks. ACF are a lot...

    Can you post any bloat pictures? How much water is in your tank? Have you separated the frogs? In the event that your water quality is too low due to inadequate filtration or PWC's, then it may have...

    If they're big, you could try pinhead crickets. Also, if you seeded the tank with spring tails or isopods, they will snack on those. Termites are also a popular food item, and ants are their natural...
