Well, I've noticed a group of people who spend a dedicated amount of time helping people that are asking questions primarily in the pacman section. There has been some recent deaths and I just want the process to be more efficient to answer unclear information given and make it easier on the people who are the informers. These questions usually always follow the same lines, "Do you use dechlorinated water?"... "Do you supplement on a regular basis?"... "Do you handle or expose them too much?"... "Explain your daily routine and setup"... "What is the temperature and humidity?"... "When was the last time he or she ate?"... "Did you read over the care sheet before posting?".

My suggestion is there should be a sticky at the top of the section for example the Ceratophrys 'Pacman Frog' section. People who don't read over the sticky before posting questions concerning their pacman should be linked to the guidelines to further the process.

Thread name: *Important - Read before posting

Following these guidelines:

What exactly is the problem? Explain.

Did you read the care sheet specifically written for the species of frog you have before posting? Yes or no.

What type of water do you use and if it's tap water, do you treat it (Dechlorinate)? Yes or no. Explain.

What does your frogs diet consist of and how often are they fed? Explain.

What is the temperature and humidity inside of the enclosure? Explain.

Do you supplement your frogs food on a scheduled routine? Yes or no. Explain.

Are there a lot of distractions, loud noises, excessive handling concerning your frog? Explain.

What is your frog housed in and explain the setup inside? Explain.

When did you first get him or her and did you just start noticing this behavior? Explain.

Any questions that are not in the guidelines are appropriate to post in your thread after posting the following format. If I'm missing any questions in the guidelines or you think I should remove one, please let me know.

If you don't know where the care sheet is, it's in the Care Articles section:

Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding

John sorry if I was supposed to pm you directly for suggestions; I figured the general section would be appropriate for this material.
