Hello again,

GTF's very rarely dig and your situation doesn't sound like brumation. Young frogs will almost never brumate, even adult frogs in captivity virtually never brumate unless their keeper...

Vitamin/Calcium deficiency related paralysis comes on slower and often shows other symptoms such as a loss of appetite, lumps on the spine and difficulty moving which gives you time to action it well...

There are so many variations of what could be causing these problems from congenital defects, chemical/heavy metal poisoning, bacterial, parasitic, fungal (chytrid), damage to the spine from falling...

It's unusual for a tree frog to burrow down on the floor for brumation (mammals hibernate, reptiles/amphibians brumate), unless there is not sufficient plant cover up higher.

A few questions;

I don't think there is a right or a wrong schedule. If your frogs are a healthy weight and are defecating regularly, you're doing it right :)

Hi there! Are they small lime green colour spots or are they large patches of differing colour, kind of like a cow?

Nice to meet you :) I'm new too but welcome!

Just beautiful :)

Hi Elly!

There are a few things it could be but the most likely is an internal parasite (most likely a variety of worm). Keep an eye on it and see if the problem is recurring, but you may just...

Fingers crossed the same approach can be used to save our Corroboree frogs!

It looks beautiful! Well done :)

I personally play music and mist them to wake them up. I feed my other reptiles and come back when they're all up and about. I tweezer feed too every third day and as much as they will eat.

You...

Hi Mantella!

Unfortunately as I have never used the treatment listed above, I cannot comment on how well it will work. There are many ways to skin a cat, see how you go :)

Hey! Its a great idea but you do have to be wary of the temperature fluctuation in a screen enclosure depending on your ambient temperatures. If you have a reasonably stable environment that is free...

I don't mean to disregard the advice of a veterinarian but have they done cultures to find out what precisely is causing the redleg?

I mean redleg is really just a compilation of symptoms and not...

Hi there! I have never dealt with that particular species myself (being Australian) however I assume they would share some similarities with Litoria sp. tadpoles!

A few tips and tricks related to...

Hi MACalentino!

Does it appear to be white pockets of white fluid in the corners of her eyes? Sort of like little pockets between the eye itself and they eyelid?

If so, it is a Vitamin A...

Hey there! I've treated chytrid but unfortunately it has an incredibly high mortality rate. Of five youngsters that had purchased been purchased in 2010, all were infected. I treated them all...

I personally use 1:30 unscented bleach to water for cleaning out an enclosure for new inhabitants. As bleach evaporates into simple salt after drying, I bleach the enclosure and let it dry...

Hi Elly! What a cute little frog you have in your avatar picture too! Just lovely :) I hope one day you have more space for more little friends, if you ever feel you need more that is! Such little...

Hi there! I use a filter under my false bottom and once a fortnight I siphon it empty, clean the filter and top the water back up :) I use egg crate, screen, river pebbles, thick layer of peat,...

Hi there!

Good choice on species, I've had Green Tree Frogs for 8 years and I just adore them.

1. Your heating pad can be fixed to the side of the enclosure but generally they are only used if...

At the stage your tads are at now, I would usually provide a ramp for the more ambitious froglets. You will want to minimise stress and movement as much as possible so using a floating turtle dock in...

What a pretty girl!
