Sudden death of my white's treefrog

[GrifTheGreat]

Frogs are more sensitive than birds. The fumes from teflon could have killed the frog, but since its a new pan that more than likely wasn't the cause.

I am so sorry for the loss of your baby It almost sounds like he could of had a parasite too. I bought a Meller's chameleon from a pet vendor and he claimed he was very healthy and got along great with other animals and they breed them. Turned out, he was snatched from his home in Brazil and was caged with others for a bit until he was put on display like a tee shirt, I feel in love when I saw him and wanted him out of that place asap, he was drinking, eating climbing, and then in 3 days of having him he feel very ill and ended up dying at the vet. Turned out he was infested with parasites and it was too late I was devastated, still am! Moral of this sad story you never know what you are really getting and where they came from! They might look ok (because as a new owner you dont know) and turns out a different story. Now you have the tools to keep your other baby healthy and happy! Good luck hun.

I'm so sorry about your chameleon, he was gorgeous!
Thanks for the support, it is greatly apreciatted.

Also wanted to mention to everyone that I found a vet in my area who specializes in amphibians (I'm quite shocked), but I made an appointment to bring in my other frog and have him checked out for parasites just in case.
Thanks again...

That really sucks ***, sorry to hear about poor Sloppy. as a person who works in the retail pet products (food, toys etc.) the first bit of advice I give to all my customers regarding buying new pets whatever the critter may be, is to not purchase from a pet shop and I'm not saying they are all bad that's for sure, but 9 out of 10 they don't really care about the animals they sell, so I always recommend that they do as much research as possible before hand, even when given advice you should triple check it and buy from a registered breeder with a good history and knowledge of their product as well as a genuine interest and love for these animals... once again I'm sorry for your loss
