Please Evaluate my R.E.T.F from my photos. I'm worried.

I haven't seen him eat yet, should I force feed him something? other than that he is a little active at night and sleeps all day at the top of his quarantine tank.

By the way I just received two frogs from Josh's Tree Frogs.

The dark one is now bright green.

[Heatheranne]

Very pretty! Be sure to keep your injured frog separate from the new frogs.

No, let him try a bit more. How does his hand look? Does he still have the light green spots? And red underbelly spots?

[purpleturtle89]

very nice im sure once they settle in his colours will become a lot greener, hows the sick one doing?

[Bolisnide]

Awe, this is so sad! And infuriating, poor frog....
I have a white's with a missing/under-developed hand, and he hunts and climbs like a champ. If you're able to avoid infection (via baytril or metro) he should be just fine. The healing process will be long and require (as I'm sure you're aware) absolutely a lot of work on your part.
What a shame the vendor isn't willing to work with you.

[verb408]

sorry for the typo, I was meaning to say that the dark one turned bright green after finding a cozy spot in the vivarium.

I would like to take him to the vet but it cost around $70 per visit. I get paid at the end of the month, hopefully he makes it till I get paid. He is housed in a separate tank.

Hi,
Perhaps you could email Dr Frye. He really risks developing a systemic infection
http://www.frogforum.net/tree-frogs/...-prepared.html
Email lots of photos of the injured area and a description as to what happened.
The cost to you would be for a topical treatment for the broken skin such as SSD ( Silversulfadiazene ) and/or an antibiotic (Metronidizole or Baytril ) to drop on his back -plus shipping. Remember to tell him you have not witnessed the frog eat. This may make a diffidence as to what antibiotic he will choose to prescribe. If you could include the frogs weight in grams it would , also, be helpful to him.

Congrats on your new -HEALTHY - Josh frog babies !!!! Big difference- right.
They need a ton of time to acclimate.
Try not to touch them unless absolutely necessary. It's hard , but VERY important.

[verb408]

I'll e-mail Dr frye after I get out of class tonight. Yes it's a big difference in quality that I've received with Josh's Frogs, I just wished I started with them first. I'm not planning on handling these frogs. I know and understand how sensitive their skin is so I just decided to just treat them like fish. lol. (look but don't touch).

I have a 18x18x24 exo terra tank, should I get the small or medium uth heating pad?
I live in Northern California BTW

The bulb i'm using is struggling to get the temp up to 80 degrees. it's stuck around 78 degrees.

[Heatheranne]

78'F is perfect for a day time temp.

I'm glad you'll be contacting Dr. Frye. He has helped me save my retf rescues.

[verb408]

So, I just went to check on the frog and guess who's awake and hanging out in the water pool?

[Heatheranne]

Awe . How's he doing today?

"Now you ***** on Facebook, Froggie Forums and even tried a BBB Claim."

"But ***** to us, write us emails or call us - don't have friends from your Frog Forum come here and flat out lie that they are the ones that bought them"

I love how this company deals with customers after they collected payment.

[Heatheranne]

Wow! Did they email you that?

[tinkgirl77]

That's terrible.

They should have said, I'm sorry for what happened. A good company would have offered to replace them, gave you a refund, or at least a store credit.

How professional !! Good gracious ! They are terrible!
You wold think they would try to correct things --- even if just to quite you down in an attempt to make it go-away!

[CJ PELCHER]

OH really? They had the audacity to do that after they provided you an injured and dead frog. They have no room WHAT SO EVER to defend themselves EVEN IN THAT MANNER!!! UNPROFESSIONAL and UNTRUSTWORTHY and JUST PLAIN OUT RUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did submit a BBB statement right? TO ALL HANDS!!! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! NEED I SAY NO MORE!!! AHHH THAT MAKES ME SOO ANGRY AND FLUSTERED. I THINK I JUST GREW MORE BALD!!!

[CJ PELCHER]

ALSO i think that company doesnt realize we are family here... ONE TEAM ONE FIGHT...you mess with one of us ...YOU MESS WITH US ALL!!! GET THE PITCHFORKS!!!! hahaha

[verb408]

It just keeps getting better.

[CJ PELCHER]

Is there a way i can get involved with this thread? I have a question to ask them. If not can you ask it for me and post the answer they reply with?

"I understand you are a business and trying to make money. However, as a red eye tree frog breeder and them being exotic animals the care for them is a bit more challenging than most frogs. How is it you sell an INJURED frog? I can understand the one that dies in travel. (stuff happens) But i dont understand how you sell an injured one. (Im pretty sure there is a law against that and i will be doing research to find out) The type of injury that that frog had (amputated toe) DOES NOT HAPPEN DURING SHIPMENT!!!. I am glad this person reported you to the BBB she had every right to despite your policys (which I read over thouroughly). ON a second note: I saw you commented that the RISKS were much higher and stating that the customer should be aware of the weather and the temperatures during shipment. As a retailer you are ALSO just as equally as GUILTY (IF NOT MORE) responsible for the death of that frog. It is in your business best interest to replace the dead frog a differnt time of year when its not so cold out -or- give the customer store credit. I know alot of people who want those frogs and they all come to be on advice on where to get them when i am not selling myself due to availability. If you want referrels to your company i would highly suggest doing what i proposed. Otherwise I will not refer ANYONE to your company from here on out for people who come to me nationaly and internationaly."

This is ridiculous. My 2 retfs came all the way to new orleans from Cleveland from Mike Novy the second week in January. They were PERFECT. So that is testament that it's all in the company. What BS. And still.... none of their posts have have addressed the poor guy's damaged toe. There is NO excuse for that. Measures me angry and quite sick
