patience is a virtue AND time is of the essence

If there is trouble in the frog enclosure it will be very helpful if one could provide as much of the following information as possible:
THEN post it in the proper forum area to get advice from FF members that keep the same frog so there is no confusion

1-size of enclosure
2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?)
3-humidity
4-temp
5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish
6-materials used for substrate
7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv
8-main food source
9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often )
10-lighting
11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
12-when is the last time he ate
13-have you found poop lately
14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
15- how old is the frog
16-how long have you owned him
17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred

If I have left anything out, please feel free to chime in !

Don't forget feeding schedule how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats?

How often do you perform maintainence? Remove fecies? Change substrate and clean the enclosure? What do you use to clean the enclosure? How often do you change the frogs water source?

Trouble in the enclosure or a frog is ? sick ?

Lynn -AND -- Thank You Grif !!!!!!!!

And this list applies to any species. It is hard to diagnose a problem over the internet. To make sure we give the right advice, we need to know as much information about the frog as possible.

Thanks for putting this list together, Lynn! It is definitely something we need!

I may have to print this list because I know full well I will forget it ALL when I need advice!

You could cut and paste it in and out of a word doc ( or similar). It will sure save a lot of typing, and hopefully a lot of FROGS!!

Excellent post!!! Perhaps we could request it be listed in with the care sheets also, if possible. That way this thread can be easily found by everyone and it will not have to be "bumped" for it to be found at a later date .

Printed for future reference :-)

Hi Heather,
Thanks
I cut and pasted the link to it ----on my own visitors page-for now.
Have a great day !
Lynn

Great!

Hope you have a nice day too!

Could this be a sticky ? (of formatted questions)

GrifTheGreat and I ( flybyferns) threw this list of questions together one day.
When done-- we had a final list of questions to help "move things along" and save a lot of typing when trying to help a FF member and their frog.

The reason I titled the new thread, at the time , "I whish I had a sticky" was because they were questions that I had typed over and over and over that day when trying to help FF members.

I see members going back to this thread !!!! ----cutting and pasting the questions--then answering them in a NEW thread!
It's quite helpful ! It is also a great teaching aid , as the it helps to begin to prioritize the most important information for the care of their particular frog when posted in the proper forum area.
