    Default re: Are orchids safe for tree frogs

    cool... my red eys are looking forward to nice lush broad leaves... I have them in a 10 gallon temp tank till their 40 gallon cube comes in... so every morning I cut them a fresh branch with leaves of dogwood for them to hang on all day... they love to cling on the leaves and the bright green dogwood leaves make them disapear. but by the next morning the leaves are dry... UPS says both tanks will be in today... so this weekned... I get to plant and transpant the frogs... and find a place for the new cubes in the house... I have the grays in a 40 now... its hard to find a spot with electirc and in a corner to put them... so they don't stick out to bad... my wife likes the neat orginized house with everything placed just so... the first tank worked... now to slip in the 2nd and 3rd tank... so they don't have to live next to the bullfrogs in the basement...

    Speaking of bullfrogs, I read in Reptiles recently that 306 Of 493 bullfrogs taken from markets in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City tested positive for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, AKA chytrid.
    Also 50 of 588 bullfrogs tested positive for ranaviruses.

    Just something to think about when keeping bullfrogs and other frogs. Follow all safety protocols, to prevent cross infection. Nothing that comes in contact with the bullfrogs should come in contact with your other frogs, unless treated by a bleach & water solution, baking, or boiling. After handling the bullfrogs, wash your hands with a perfumeless alcohol gel.
