    Shame on Reptile City! It's at the very least, not nice to hear that when you frogs are locked in the post office .
    Let us know!!!! You would think if a "live" pkg was not deliverable they would have a procedure in place to correct the problem ASAP and not after the post office is closed?? Our postal person tends to be very lazy about packages that have to be signed for. ie They say they "rang the bell " but never do. My husband works at home and is 5 ft from the bell ; so they fib about it.

    I know it will be scary, but take photos as you open your package. Hoping !!!!

    Wow ! I'm soooooo happy to hear this !
    Time for stress reduction!!!
    Feed them well with appropriate size crickets ( even if you have to use small and medium) darken 3 sides of the enclosure.
    Keep and eye on the temp and humidity. I'm sure everyone will chime in and will be very happy to see your post .

    This made my day !

    well sadly the smaller frog died the stress of being in a box for two days was just too much. I didn't think it looked good out of the box. Hopefully reptile city will be sending me a replacement. The other frog, the larger one, ate four crickets last night and ate the remaining fifth today. I think it's a female. I'm very glad she is healthy.

    What a shame about your frog! Rotten luck. Your survivor looks gorgeous, and I'm so impressed by your setup. I hope all goes well from here on out!

    So sorry. It's very difficult to help them after they were put through something like that.

    If you get another one do yourself a favor and keep them in separate enclosures for 30 days. Looking at the skin of the second frog....something didn't look right. It looked blotchy.

    Yes. Exactly what will be happening. The other frog actually wasn't kept with the other one for more that about six hours before I moved it into the quarantine tank. And I did notice the skin it seemed very dehydrated. Thanks for the tip.
