No. So how can you say 100% without a doubt that I am "poisoning my frog" which is just stupid since the water is fine for all my other reptiles. I know they have more experience, as do the people I talk to here.

Also my friends frogs are already over 5 years old so you're point is invalid Bruce. And for your information I did know they needed calcium supplements I just believed he was receiving enough because of the food choice, I was wrong in that and now I am changing it. See? I'm not just getting advice and not listening to it. I am also giving him the soaks that were recommended. The moss is none of anyone's concern nor is tbd water I use.
I'm done. I've tried and you don't even understand simple reasoning. Chlorine is toxic to frogs as well as chlorimines which are in city water. These chemicals that make our water safe also make amphibians water sources toxic. Toxing Out Syndrome will begin to sit in after a period of exposure.

Your frog is sick and you are willing to take chances with your frog's life rather than taking all necessary precautions to assist in its recovery. You were and are not ready to care for one of these animals and if you persist in refusing to use any treatments or even take precautions it will die. I'm sorry, but that's how it is.

Good luck.
