Agalychnis moreletii

[flybyferns]

Beachfroggy,
Thanks !
I love this species. A tad more difficult then the red eyed(s).
It was really entertaining to watch the adults' response to them being in there last night.
It was obvious.............he knew he had company.

This whole project has taken a very long time. Almost a year . Fingers crossed !

Hi Heath,
He definitely knew they were there! He woke right away after lights out. Usually he gets up later then the red eyeds'!
He just sat.....sweetly.......... watching things from the leaf he had been sleeping on. It was very interesting. He looked really perky.

The adult black eye was eventually moved into :

-where they are ...all... currently .........together.
I could not stand the door on the conversion I made originally for him.

A week ago , I transferred my 4 froglets from their 'nursery' ( where they were since May 23rd) into their enclosure w/'Boggie' ; my adult A moreletii.
I don't see them very often.
I don't' think this is a bad thing, although nerve racking to say the least.
As always, I stay OUT of the enclosure as much as possible !

Food is missing every morning.
There is lots of poop around.

I have done my very best to prepare them......... so they can adjust in their new home.
I have visited in the dark with a little flash light and have witnessed them eating and soaking.
Here is a lucky 'peek' from this AM. Chubby ! Thank goodness.
'She' has dirt on her head.

Awe .

I know what you mean by not seeing them. Thats the nice thing about a quarantine tank. We know exactly what's going on in there. It's like letting our kids go to school for the first time, not being there, and hoping you prepared them the best you could. Tough for us parents.

Good Morning,
New photos of the A moreletii group. Four foglets and 'Boggie' ( yesterday am and 10 minutes ago)
They are settling in. They are from the same spawn. There are two ( of the 4) that are much larger. ( 2.2.0 ? ) Don't know
The size difference is obvious in photo #3.









For my FF friends who know what "Boggie" has been through -- he is doing really well! Since the froglets were moved in with him; his behavior is like it used to be when he lived with the red eyes! There is quite a difference. He is much more active. Calling ! More social . I guess? He just seems happier to me.

For my FF friends who do not know what he has been through: ( I made a new home for him of his own and he got really, really sick after the move! He went on a froggy hunger strike, for weeks!!!!! ):

Have a great weekend!

[flybyferns]

Today was cleaning day.
I had to remove a plant from the enclosure that need some attention.
I searched for -an hour- for one of the froglets!
I was afraid to remove the plant into my little ( make-shift) greenhouse w/out finding him first.
He was ....REALLY.....REALLY ......... hidden in the pothos leaves!

[Heatheranne]

They're looking great, Lynn . Glad you found your little hider.

[WTF97]

Do any of you guys know if paper bark tree is poisonous to whites?PLEASE HELP

[flybyferns]

I have yet to get them all in a photo at the same time.
Here are four of the five ( including "Boggie" in the upper part of the photo)
froglets- I think I have 2 females and 2 males

Sorry for the glare.

[flybyferns]

An update on some of the babies . Not babies anymore
And - not very good photos.

[Heatheranne]

They look great, Lynn! They've definitely grown . So pretty!

[flybyferns]

Sometimes I wonder ......... why they do..... what they do ?

All 5 ........fell asleep this AM on the upper / front glass.
This is uncommon behavior for them as they are typically in the leaves.
It's been a little chilly in the basement?

Strange how they are all on the glass at the same time. Mine do this from time to time also.

So cute!

[flybyferns]

Amazing! Gorgeous frogs, gorgeous species....The genus Agalychnis is just beautiful, fragile and beautiful yet strong in adaptive skills and smarts to take their place in the rainforest canopy. You have very lucky creatures, I love your setup, it screams of their perfect natural habitat, and they look so healthy and happy and content....great pics (went back over thread) to wake up to. Thankyou

Thank You !

I agree. It , actually, bothers me a bit. You know............I worry it's one those subtle little warnings.

[Heatheranne]

I do too. Though I can't imagine anything is wrong if the settings are all the same. Hmmm... (Pondering)

They look relaxed and comfortable though.
