    Quarantine is very important with amphibians. The chytrid fungus is an epidemic among wild populations and most wholesalers don't treat for it. If you use the same tools when feeding or cleaning enclosures with sanitizing in between (We use different set of stuff all-together), then parasites & disease can be transferred. Just take precautions and all should be good. Thanks for the confidence in us Grif!!

    Please also get in the habit of sanitizing your hands between handling each individual animal. Also, I have noticed that the juvenile frogs sometimes go through growth spurts and tend to look a little lean during that time......it's like puberty for frogs! Grif gave you excellent advice!

    Runny stool is another sign of worms and or other parasites, but stress can also cause runny stool so testing by a vet or if you are able to yourselfis the best way to tell if its parasites or stress related.
