New and have an SOS!

[frogmama]

Thanks so much to all of you. Unfortunately, we lost him around 1:35 this morning. He seemed to be rallying after a warm soak, but was gone when I checked on him about an hour later.

Mark, we kept handling to a minimum as a practice, only handling to clean his tank. Though from your post it appears he wasn't getting the calcium he needed and I also wonder whether the moss was a factor. I wish we had had this advice from the beginning. I did research care when we brought him home but didn't find care sheets as comprehensive as the one posted here.

You've all been a tremendous help, and we will be so much better informed when we try again. We all got quite attached to him, so we may wait a little while.

So sorry for your loss, I just lost my fire belly toads. Tell your son that somtimes bad things happen but remember that you gave "Huck" lots of love and he had a beter life with you guys than he would have had at the pet store.

I'm sorry frogmama for your loss . Inevitably it wasn't your fault. What I mean by this is so many people get advice from inexperienced employees at chain pet stores that don't know what they're talking about and leads to customers losing frogs. We learn from our mistakes and hopefully you guys pick up a new one after researching through this site.

Tell your son that there are many more out there and that your other frog is in a happy place.
