I have bad news.

I talked with Lori and she looked Baby over and we both agreed that he had lost over half his body weight since he'd been there for his eye infection. It hurt a lot (and I mean A LOT) but I made the decision that I would rather give him up then have him die from malnutrition. She said that only time will tell if he will get better and start eating or if he just had a bad bug (possibly a bit of the infection got into his system? not really sure). I decided that he needed to be with someone much more experienced then I and that is totally Lori.

I had the option of exchanging him for a different pac but 1) I just dont know if I could at the moment. I bonded with baby yaknow? Just cant replace him like that. And 2) even though everyone says there was probably nothing I could have done to keep this from happening I feel it was my inexperience that caused this and I feel I need to be a more experienced frog owner before I try just a stress prone breed of frog.

I decided to give a home to a Whites tree frog we've had for several weeks now. Tree frogs I know. Tree frogs I have experience with.


I wont give up on pacs. It may be several months or a year but I will get another pac eventually. I may look into buying an older pac that is a little hardier then the tiny babies we sell at petsmart. Thank you so much Grif. You have tried so hard to help me but it just seems that Baby was not destined to be happy with me. I've learned a lot from this experience and it has expanded my love for frogs from just the arboreal into the terrestrial and inadvertently into the aquatic too. I fear my room will start to look like the aquatics/reptile habs at work soon. X3

Thank you again and please pray that Baby gets better and someone with more experience comes along and gives him a better home then I could. I know I will pray. He deserves it.
