    Unhappy I think I may have a Sick Frog

    I found a tree frog at my job. I have a feeling he came in on one of our tropical plants from our resent plant delivery. After looking at some pictures online I think he may be a Cuban tree frog. I do not know a lot about frogs but I couldn't just leave him there to die in the middle of Walmart. I set up a tank for him with moss,coconut bedding,fake plant, water dish to soak in, and some crickets. Hes a little bigger then a quarter and is greyish white. He burrows into the coconut bedding a lot and haven't seen him climb to much. I don't think he's eating the crickets and isn't very active unless I disturb him. I'm keeping the heat on 70 right now. I'm worried that he may be sick.

    Hi
    It was very nice of you to ,truly, rescue this frog.
    This, tag-a-long, frog MUST be identified to be able to help you properly!
    Setting up an idea environment is very important!
    Please post a photo if possible.

    In the mean time , do not disturb him.
    Keep his enclosure away from foot traffic in a quiet area.
    Cover three side of the enclosure so he feels more secure.
    You might put the crickets in a small -clear glass- bowl ( 3" sides) to monitor his food intake.
    (they will not escape from the bowl)

    I don't remember seeing bright orange or yellow marks on the legs so I don't think hes a gray tree frog. I don't own a camera at the moment. He does seem to soak at night because when I check in the morning the dish looks like its been used. I'll put the crickets in the bowl to find out if he is eating or not. If he isn't eating I'll have to look for a vet to find out why he is sick. I'm not sure if my ferret's vets office deals with frogs.

    I don't know if this is the same for these frogs but my whites only burrow in the substrate if its not humid enough, maybe consider getting a spray bottle and some Spring water to mist with
