Tonight I took a look into my baby White's tree frog to check in on him and see if he ate any of the crickets in his bowl and I found him incapacitated laying against the side of the tank. He was non-responsive and acted like he was dead! I quickly snatched him out and ran to my computer to find out what might be wrong. I didn't find much help on the web, but I did notice that his skin was sloughing so I thought maybe he was either having a reaction to something or he was having troubles and the process was taking the energy out of him. Either way I wanted to get some energy back in him, so I researched honey baths. I put him in a warm dish or de-chlorinated water with a little bit of honey. After a little while I saw results. He sat up instead of just laying helplessly in my hand. And he opened his eyes cause before they were closed. He then started moving around and trying to jump a little bit. This activity only lasted for awhile then he started to go back to not moving. I cleaned his cage really well. I always keep the temperature around 75-80F and the humidity is high also. I have a fairly large tank for him with a very nice setup. He has a big water dish, a large log, some fake plants and vines, and coco substrate (Eco Earth). I love my Dumpy toad and I don't want anything bad to happen to him, he is only a baby, very tiny. I have had him almost 6 months. When I got him he was very thin and dry. A light green color. Now he is more plump and a very dark brown color. I don't know if the color change was a good or bad thing. If anyone knows what is going on with him, please help. And let me know if I can provide you with any more info.
Thanks,
Erin
