    Air Conditioning is also very bad. You don't want your frogs hoome anywhere near an AC vent. Better that the room they are in stays warm.

    I have a White's and he died tonight. I believe it was from a respiratory infection, and unfortunately I did not catch it early enough. I'm heart broken.

    Sorry to hear Jenn.

    Yes, we are seeing many ill WTFs on the forum lately. Since WTFs are probably the most common frog found in pet shops, and likely the most common 1st frogs someone buys, it is pretty common to have many new members come here with ill frogs.

    We will see this over and over here and it is sad but since we're their main source for help, the best we can do is keep a sympathetic ear and provide the best answers we can.

    Good point. I know when I got my frogs I was completely mis-led as to the proper care of the animals. Admittedly, I should have done my own research. But, I'm sure that many pet stores are just 'pet peddlers', and white's are quite common...

    That sucks. I'm sorry.
    I have a frog. She's fat and green. Her name is Gertrude, because she is fat and green.
