Could this be a sticky ? (of formatted questions)

GrifTheGreat and I ( flybyferns) threw this list of questions together one day.
When done-- we had a final list of questions to help "move things along" and save a lot of typing when trying to help a FF member and their frog.

The reason I titled the new thread, at the time , "I whish I had a sticky" was because they were questions that I had typed over and over and over that day when trying to help FF members.

I see members going back to this thread !!!! ----cutting and pasting the questions--then answering them in a NEW thread!
It's quite helpful ! It is also a great teaching aid , as the it helps to begin to prioritize the most important information for the care of their particular frog when posted in the proper forum area.


Trouble in the enclosure or a frog is sick ?
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:
