Gail, i am so sorry to hear about your froggiesthey are in excellent hands now, so much better than petco. Sadly, it's hit or miss with chain stores. I think their employees are instructed to say everything is c.b. because they know no one will buy w.c. I give you a LOT of credit for your restraint, i would have been yelling and screaming at the manger long ago. But i am not a patient person when it comes to this stuff.
It really sucks that you had to tear the viv down because of it, but vivs can be rebuilt, frogs can't
And really, i realize this is a serious situation, but i got a giggle out of the buy 2 get one free fecal sample sale!! Lol

Well if I would have gone to Petco yesterday, I would have ended up in jail. All in all the only thing that matters is that the frogs make it through this and are in good health when all is said and done. But I'm not rushing into redoing the tank until I can get a clean fecal on all of them.

I don't think Shadrack is gonna make it. He's went from 12 - 9 grams in a few days. I attempted to force feed him but he's just so small. Now he looks like this after holding him down and trying to get a roach down his throat. Is it stress that causes this?? You can see the little ones are eating well.

Sunday 2-10. Abendnego eats like a hog, now I'm concerned if maybe I need to put him in a honey soak to get him to poop??? He looks like the balloon from from Shrek!!Also I was happy to see Shadrack back to his normal coloration, and he was soaking this am. & there was some somewhat formed poop in the dish. Not sure who it belonged to, but happy to see it any way.
I'm going to Petco today to talk to them about the healthy of their animals and to pick up some crickets. Shad seems to prefer them over roaches, the two little lima beans will eat anything. It's been one crappy weekend!!

Petco response..........Our store policy is to return sick animals to us and we'll have them checked out by our recommended vet. Then we'll evaluate a refund or exchange. Not even a sorry about your frogs. GRRRRRRRRR I wanted to punch the guy, good thing I took my husband with me. He's the calm one.
