It's admittedly kinda hard to identify them when they are this small. If they don't get any bigger, they could be wood frog tads but if they get to be 2x or 3x the size they could be some sort of...

Try cleaning making sure they have clean water, that the tank is not overstocked. It may also be ranavirus. Btw, aren't these guys protected??
Southern leopards tend to be very shy, much more so than Northern leopards. My Northern leopard frogs watch me work at the desk and don't flinch even when I clean the tank but when I had southern...
I am fairly certain this is a Southern Leopard frog and most likely the Florida subspecies (http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Field-Herping/Herping-the-Florida-Leopard-Frog). The snout is too long and...
I don't think it's inconceivable that they want to bask. I've never had pool frogs or European ranids for that matter but it seems that the green frogs (L clamitans) who would visit my pond seem to...
My northern leopard frogs usually hop to go from place to place but one day one of them was sort of scurrying to move about, almost like walking on all fours. it did not seem to be lethargic or...
i'm afraid to say that it is probably getting ill. this is especially true if the tadpole hangs out near the surface of the water a lot. most of the time this is related to poor water quality/not...
Regarding how to get the fruitflies in the container, I would encourage them to come near the top of the jar where I kept them and then quickly open and then tap some into the frog feeding container...
When I used to rear wood frogs from tadpoles (these are the smallest froglets I've dealt with), I put the froglets in a tupperware container with a few small holes with fruit flies. The froglets then...
These guys look like some sort of tree frog tadpole (could be a Green Tree Frog, especially since they tend to breed later in the summer). If you look closely the ends of the developing feet look a...
This is a green frog (Rana clamitans). They are often confused for bullfrogs but this one has a dorsalateral ridge. The big concern here is I think this frog is having hypocalcemia (low calcium). The...
did some more reading...apparently it is not that common and the good thing is that those post metamorphosis specimens are usually immune to the virus and therefore can't get the infection->tumor
Hey,
So unfortunately one of my Northern leopard frogs died all of a sudden. I've been keeping a pair in a 20 gallon long tank for about 3 years now. They had been doing well, the tank was well...
I'm no vet but these ulcerations look awfully like what you see with ranavirus infection and in fact you can see some areas developing on the back. I don't think you should release her (it's a female...
Can you upload an image? Is it an actual change in positioning or does your frog favor movement to one side? I don't think chytrid causes contortions.
hard to say. the most common cause is usually bacterial infection. frogs have a very fickle immune system and if they get "stressed" they can succumb to their normal bacterial flora. on the other...
I think they are both northern leopard frogs. There is actually quite a bit of variation in both their color pigmentation and patterning; there are even some that don't have any dark blotches (Burnsi...
I've generally found leopard frogs as a whole to prefer more terrestrial than aquatic habitats both in terms of in captivity and also seeing them in the "wild." I also think in general a more...
Hey,
A couple of questions about some behaviors my frogs are exhibiting periodically since I'm not super familiar with vet medicine (now people medicine is a different story) and the signs for...
thanks, yea they don't seem to mind it
Hi,
I keep leopard frogs and in my set up I use live sphagnum moss as a cover since I heard it is somewhat impedes bacterial and fungal growth. I wanted to know if using a 6500K LED light (puts...
thanks...I think I may give that a shot and may try other live plants/other moss to put on top.
I've been keeping leopard frogs for about 2 years now and recently had one of them die. I found it in the tank fully extended and in full rigor mortis. It looked it it had just passed (was actually...
it sounds like it has an infection of some sort. could be ranavirus, could be some bacterial infection. the former is very common. most species are not super susceptible but unfavorable...
frogs are finicky creatures to raise. you really can't take long vacations (they're setups need regular maintenance, at least weekly) they are also quite sensitive to changes in their environment and...
