Sorry for your loss. Do you supplement any calcium or other nutrients with feedings?

Don's question is all too common here on the forum and yet a very valid one. Pyxies and Pacs if you don't supplement their food and especially at such a young age it could have been a big possibility that he could have become sick from lack of nutrients. Sometimes even a diverse diet does not give them all they need. I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure he was very beutiful. I wish that I had the answer for you. There are several diseases that take time to run the frogs immune system down before it claims their life. Chytrid fungus is one such infection. I also believe Red Leg takes time, but once it appears you have very limited time to treat it. Parasites also take time to weaken the frog before they are fatal. I really do wish I had an answer. I'm sorry.

You could take him to a vet and have them do an autopsy and run tests to see what caused his untimely passing. Once again I am truely sorry.

Sorry for your frog's death. Imagine you threw away the last "mush" it passed so can't take to vet for analysis. Grift idea to take frog to vet for autopsy is good since you have a large collection of other 15 frogs in same enclosure and the cost of autopsy is probably lower than having to replace them. Good luck!

Really sorry

eh an autopsy may be in order if I see any signs from my other frogs. The rack that he was in holds roughly 200-250 dollars worth of frogs, not sure how much an autopsy would be.

Thanks, losing a frog that you put a ton of time into sucks

I do not supplement. I have been growing out pixies and pacman for a few years now and have never had any issues with a mixed diet. The frog that died was only in my possession for a months time, I doubt nutrition would hit him so rapidly, remember he ate like 12-15 pieces of earth worm 5 days ago. His appetite and activity was hardy.

I don't believe it was a lack of nutrition if you were feeding multiple items..then supplementation. Would not be all that necessary. I supplement my pacs and pixies with a multivitamin once a week and calcium with/without d3 once a week and they do fine. Seems like it could have been parasites or possibly a fungus?
