Hi everyone, I just came from a pet store where they were selling baby red eye tree frogs. The lady said they had 3, I asked to take a closer look. I found that one was asleep (the healthy looking one) one was awake and moving around, and the third was dead. I normally wouldn't buy under these circumstances but it looked as though this pet store was just getting into selling reptiles (they specialize in fish and some small rodents) and in the small inclosure for these frogs, they had a small water dish, moss (which didn't even look damp) a light source, and heat... Seemed to lack humidity for these poor lil guys.. So I felt bad and pointed out the dead frog then asked if I could take the two that were still alive offf of there hands for a discounted price. She agreed.
So, now I have them both home and in a small 1.75 critter tank. It has damp paper towel a small dish for soaking with treated water. I took this critter tank and placed it inside of my already existing red eye tree frog terrarium. So the humidity is now at 60% and heat is 70.
The more healthy looking of the two crawled around for a minute and is now asleep at the very top of the side of tank. The other is sitting on side of glass and is still awake, I observed it yawning and rubbing it's face, but he is still a darker green/brown color. Whereas the other is a healthy looking green.
Does anyone have any tips for me so that I could possibly save this lil guy?
I just hope I got him in time
Any replies would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
