I love the photo of the red-eyed tree frogs - it's like a mini convention in that tank. I love that the look so compact when they sleep, not like White's who squish their bellies onto the glass!

Last night of yukky medication for the little ones tonight.
Both seem a little run down, like the vet said they would, not eating or hopping around as much as usual.
Aside from being a bit...
I was lucky with that yesterday, and I dropped the grub into Ritty's mouth whilst he was shedding - success! He looked a little confused but seemed to enjoy it when he realised it was edible :)
...
I was hanging around near the frog tank and as I happened to be looking in, I saw Bertie's sides contract in and out twice and at the same time there was a medium-pitched, broken croaking sound. I...
Said mealworms, meant wax worms. Apologies!
Just back from the vet. He thinks they look a bit sluggish and there's a bit of a size difference but otherwise just fine.
Treatment - 5 day worming treatment in a solution form, to syringe into...
Excellent, we have plastic soup containers we can use that are a little bigger than that.
Thanks :)
It would be easier to keep a smaller container warm, but wouldn't the frogs get stressed out by being enclosed like that?
Thanks for all the support guys :) hopefully the little guys'll be perky and happier soon.
Few questions about transporting them tomorrow ... we have a reasonably big plastic storage box that we...
Got the little guys an appointment at their new vet on Friday. Since he's never seen them before the vet said just bring both in so he can have a look at them. That way if there's anything we've not...
At least the treatment is straightforward and not stressful for them.
Could I use a large cricket pen (20.3 x 30.5 x 21.3 cm) for transporting them? I'm guessing this would be too small for a...
Thanks, Jen :) I will know when to celebrate their birthdays now :p
Got the test results back - the nurse says the sample had a few, not loads, but a few parasites. She says nothing necessarily needs done but if he's being acting funny recently treatment is a good...
I was at the vets for the first time today (luckily found an exotics one less than an hour away :)); hopefully just routine fecal tests.
Anyway, I was asked how old my frog was. I said 10 months...
Everything still lookin good, didn't get a chance to get over to the vet today but I called and they'll do a fecal for £10 so I will deliver the offending poop to them tomorrow morning :) Let you...
Thanks, Sasha, for the bathing tip! We had been compromising with him and getting him to sit half in, half out.
No more feet curling, he's climbing fine - moving all of his legs and able to hold...
Everything's still looking good on night two. He took another pedi bath and ate some more dusted locusts. Legs seem normal - he was hopping around and climbing up my arm. Only problem tonight was...
Update: Ritty sat in the pedi bath for 10 minutes, did a huge poop (I have never been more proud!) and was climbing around the quarantine tank within minutes!! He looked a lot skinnier after that...
Hey everyone,
Thank you so much for your quick replies and loads of advice :)
To answer your questions, no we don't bowl feed, we let them chase the food themselves, so it is possible he's...
Hey everyone, hopefully somebody here can help us ...
We noticed one of our white's tree frogs having trouble moving his back legs yesterday. His toes were curling up and his legs seemed really...
Hello everyone, I joined the forum last week since I was using it enough to be a member anyway! I'm from Scotland; we got two white's tree frogs (Bertie and Ritty) about eight months ago; been...
