? Trouble In The Enclosure ?

[GrifTheGreat]

It is great that one seeks advice ! After all, that's why we are here !!!
There actually may be nothing wrong , or conversely, a change in behavior warrants keeping a close eye on your froggy friend !

patience is a virtue AND time is of the essence

If there is trouble in the frog enclosure it will be very helpful if one could provide as much of the following information as possible:
THEN post it in the proper forum area to get advice from FF members that keep the same frog so there is no confusion

1-size of enclosure
2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?)
3-humidity
4-temp
5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish
6-materials used for substrate
7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv
8-main food source
9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often )
10-lighting
11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
12-when is the last time he ate
13-have you found poop lately
14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
15- how old is the frog
16-how long have you owned him
17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred

If I have left anything out, please feel free to chime in !

How about how often the frog is handled and whether the enclosure is kept in a high or low traffic area.

How often do you perform maintainence? Remove fecies? Change substrate and clean the enclosure? What do you use to clean the enclosure? How often do you change the frogs water source?

And this list applies to any species. It is hard to diagnose a problem over the internet. To make sure we give the right advice, we need to know as much information about the frog as possible.

Thanks for putting this list together, Lynn! It is definitely something we need!
