    Ok I think I might try it. It should be easier for me cuz they don't share a cage. I'll get one ASAP.
    (By the way, I've read that earthworms are a good feeder for tree frogs. Is thus true?)

    no idea, I"ve always been told on here crickets as a staple diet, moths and flys work, and meal worms as a treat once in a while but not often as they can make fat frogs XD

    Hmm Neo's belly seems really round and distended. But I can see his hips and spine jutting out? Ok now that's really weird to me.

    Earthworms are a terrific feeder. One of my H. versicolor and my H. cinerea eat primarily earthworms. Not all frogs readily accept them, some earthworms apparently give off a foul taste that's, well, foul tasting.

    Sorry I can't give any advice on their ailments, but great to hear a vet visit is in the near future and I hope all turns out well.

    For the tank setup, there are plenty of examples in the vivarium section for you to browse through and get ideas. Here are a couple of mine:

    I'd have to ask though, why not skip the divider and have the 55 gallon tank for one frog and remodel the 20 gallon for the other? There's no such thing as too much space for a frog as long as it can find its food and overall I'd prefer a 55 and a 20 over two 27.5 gallons stuck together. You could turn the 20 on its side to make it more suitable for a height loving tree frog.

    Most of the worms you keep on hand for your beardie are good for frogs as well. Phoenix worms are a good staple worm. I have heard both good and bad about earthworms. Just be careful with them as to where you get them to ensure they dont have any bad chemicals on them from soil. Also with earth worms you might have to cut them up into segments small enough for the frog as they will not take them if they are to long/big. THey should still move for a little after they are cut up.
    I would take the frogs to the vet if you think there might be something wrong. Your gut feeling is usually right and that is the only way to know for sure. Plus if medication is needed that is the only way to know for sure and get the correct med for them.

    Frog Forum - Gray Tree Frog Care and Breeding this link is this sites care sheet for greys and I have been told to use it for American green as well.... make sure the temperature and humidity levels are accurate and I put a low watt UVA/UVB bulb it and that seemed to help mine.... they love sitting under it and seemed to be more energetic and increased appetite. I also have a group page open here for grays that has other helpful links on care. feel free to join and look at the helpful links post: http://www.frogforum.net/groups/grey...ree-frogs.html
