New arrivals.

Not at all, but I am hoping once I throw them in a rain chamber for a few days that will change. I lost one recently. I notice when I fed them that one was having trouble trying to catch food. The tongue barely came out of it's mouth, so I made up a slurry with a vitamin supplement, vitamin A being one of them. I administered it to the frog, but a few days later I found him dead. I am hoping it was a vitamin A deficiency as I first suspected and not something else that will end up killing the other frogs.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss Kurt, I lost a Tokay Gecko this weekend after I bought it malnourished and dehydrated from a neglecting pet shop in an attempt to save it - I know its a stupid thing to do.

Last night we had our first Summer thunder storms in the Highveld and man alive they came down hard!!! I missed the frogs enclosure quite heavily last night but they seemed irritated with the water, I would like to see if you experience this same thing when you put yours in the rain chamber. The temperature dropped very low today so I kept their viv cooler as well just to try keep it as natural as possible outside.

Your heart was in the right place.

Thanks. I watched them eat last night one was a little reluctant to eat, but it did eat. The crickets were heavily duested with vitamins and calcium, so I at least got some nutrition in him/her. My original and my biggest went to town of the crickets.

That's great, what size crickets are yours on?

[Kurt]

1/8". They are also eating fruit flies and bean weevils.

Hi Kurt, an update from my side. Of the 5 that I got earlier this year 2 of the females (the one that lost the foot) have doubled in size and are almost fully grown. The other female is growing a bit slower and the one male is still tiny. But unfortunately I lost one of the small males, he was looking very sluggish and skinny a few weeks back, so I isolated him in a separate tub and started feeding him, he started feeding nicely and gaining some healthy weight, but in the last week he suddenly lost a lot of weight around his limbs and was very weak and wouldn't even flick his tongue out at any food infront of him, and on Sunday morning I came in to see him dead. Could not tell you why he died, the other frogs are fine so was not a virus or any illnesses, I think it was nothing more than weak genes, he wasn't growing from when I first got him and the others had already grown 5x larger. Sad to have lost him as I had so much faith and hope when he started coming right.

I still have three out of the original 5. One of those three being my original male (assuming he's male because of his size) whom I have had for two+ years. The other two I assume are females. One is quite large, fat, with good color. The other is a little thinner, but no dangerously so. Her color is a bit on the faded side. I should also mention the original frog also has good color and good body weight. All three feed well. I have not attempted to breed these frogs as of yet.
