    Default 1 P. bicolor starved/bullied to death, 1 P. terribilis so close to the brink I needed glasses to see whether he is still breathing

    When buying my darts, a had read that P. terribilis and P. bicolor weren't aggressive. So far, within my original group of 4 bicolors, three of them bullied and bullied the fourth and just wouldn't let him eat at all. I noticed this a little bit too late to put him into isolation . My pair of yellow terribilis has recently (and possibly too late) has been split up. Since I got them, one has been a bit smaller and eaten a little less, and the other has bullied it and taken much of his food. He's in isolation now, and for a while he was eating a little bit, but I woke up this morning to feed him and found him incapable of moving. I don't know what to do.... So 1) I need help with nursing my frog back to health, and 2) WHY ARE THESE SUPPOSEDLY NON-AGRESSIVE FROGS BULLYING EACH OTHER?! I am REALLYYY upset as these are my two favorite species, and I can't handle another death.

    I am sorry to hear about your frogs. Do you have a picture of their tanks? Any additional information you can provide about them will also help us in asking probing questions to hopefully help identify what is going on. Below is our standard "Trouble in the Enclosure" questionnaire. Some of the questions won't apply to this situation, but answer as many as you can as completely as possible.
