    Re: RETF died last night

    What I had to do with my tank to clean it (I had a cork background siliconed to the glass) was to get a hydrogen peroxide based cleaner (can't remember the name- Accel?) and then use a professional...

    Re: Ten Best Ways to Prepare for a Career in Herpetology

    Thank you for the reply. And, you put various worms and roaches in the bowl as well? Do you find your frogs have a favorite? Oh, mine are red-eyes. Do you see multiple frogs feeding at the same...

    Re: Ten Best Ways to Prepare for a Career in Herpetology

    I am jumping in here a bit late, but had a couple questions. I am going to start trying the feeding bowl idea and have read both glass and stainless steel are appropriate. The only point is to keep...

    Re: RETF died last night

    I'm so sorry for your loss. It is hard to lose these guys, especially when you do not know why.

    Look on the ARAV website to see if there is a vet in your area that treats frogs. Keep your little...

    Live moss recommendations

    I finally have my waterfall running the way I want it. It drips nicely onto a nearby branch, making it perfect for moss. I have used the moss milkshake in the past, and it worked ok, not...

    Re: Need Help for Sick Red Eyed Tree Frog!

    You are lucky to be able to have access to a vet like that. I usually take my frogs in just a critter keeper with a moist paper towel, then put them in an incubator at work. That way, I can keep...

    Re: Need Help for Sick Red Eyed Tree Frog!

    RETF don't need the strong UV light like a bearded does and that one will probably burn her. They need much lower lighting, so I would tend towards lower light with a sick guy, but be sure to keep...

    Re: Bloated Red Eyed Tree Frog?

    Great pics! Very cute froggy. But, I think I have you all beat on the worry scale. I'm a vet and can't even treat my own animals- my boss has to! I panic if they aren't in their normal spots, don't...

    Re: Please Help!!!! Swollen leg!!

    I agree with the trying the worms (earthworms/night crawlers) over crickets. I think they will be easier to feed and be a bit easier to digest for what your froggy is going through right now. You...

    Re: HELP - Whites Treefrog - very thin

    Parasites are probably the most common cause of this that I see. Even if the stool sample is negative, I would deworm him since parasite shedding can be intermittent and fecal samples may not always...

    I know what you mean about not liking the medications. I thought cats were dramatic until I gave my frog doxycycline. Frogs do NOT like raspberry!! Talk about a drama queen!! I thought I had...

    Hang in there. It is unfortunate that there aren't more vets that are willing to treat herps. I'm in Southern California, and it amazes me how far people travel to come see us with their exotic...

    Re: Please Help!!!! Swollen leg!!

    Sounds like you are on the right track. The hardest part of dealing with these guys is they take forever to heal, so you just have to hang in there. Fortunately, you seem to have a vet that has a...

    Wanted: Looking for CB Adult or Sub-Adult RETF

  17. Re: Finding tadpoles in the toilet was a first for me.

    Wow. Frogs in the toilet. Wow. I think it would freak me out. Not because there is a frog in the toilet, but the, "how did it get there?" issue. I don't have a septic system and I would be...

    Congrats on your new babies! I agree with the above threads, but I will say the more hay in their diet, the better. Guinea pigs have a lot of dental problems that are often controlled with hay...

    Thanks for the replies. That is what I figured. I have not seen them eating during the day, and it sure isn't from lack of watching! I have them in a 12"dx 24'lx 12"h tank right now with paper...

    SLS Determined Froglet?

    Hi All,

    First off, let me be clear that I have zero experience breeding and raising tadpoles. This is my first batch. I have about 50 RETF tadpoles, all seem to be doing well, eating well, and...

    Thanks for the lighting tip. They will be in the same room and place they are in now, just bigger terrarium.
