    hi sorry about your frog it feels terrible, but glad the other one is doing well, perhaps you can post some pics of your new vivarium so we can give opinions on its new home.

    regards

    Humidity is a bit low. That's the only comment I can make. It shouldn't cause problems like this though.

    Trying to diagnose a frog remotely is a flawed exercise, and while we try, it is not an exact science. In my opinion the smaller frog was likely sick when you got it. I don't think you can save it now but for future reference you need to get amphibians in its position treated as soon as you have established that they are not eating.

    Agreed. Also, getting frogs from a reputable breeder sometimes means everything. I've not had many happy experiences with store-bought animals.

    I would aim for 70% minimum, preferably 80%.

    Ok, will sort it out its been reading between 75-85% since putting them in the live plant tank... and up to 85-90% during the night, so fingers crossed it will remain there.
