    Unhappy i think my frogs are sick

    Just created account here,

    i currently own 2 red eyed tree frogs both of which are usually active and healthy, as of the last few days they seem to lack energy and weirdly when ever i check, one or the other is always upside down and unable to get back on all fours.

    one lacks more energy then the other, seems to headbutt objects and abnormally jump without using limbs properly.
    the other just seems plain lazy but have found him upside down a few times >.<.

    Ive noticed more multiple dead crickets in the enclosure as well, and last night noticed worms or maggots of some sort within the dirt.

    i clean the enclosure out approximately every 7-14 days.
    there is never a lack of feeding.
    they are always hydrated.

    ive seen a couple times flying insects inside the enclose, my thoughts are the frogs are sick and crickets dying from something?

    any help is appreciated.

    Hi ,
    Welcome to Frog Forum.
    Has there been a big change in the humidity or temps in their enclosure?

    If you could cut , paste and answer these questions it would really help !

    Also, please describe the substrate in the enclosure.
    When was the substrate installed?

    Do you have other frogs in the enclosure with the red eyed tree frogs?
