Guys...need some help on these...

Was a few days ago, we rescued some RETF from the shop.
They were housed pretty badly...cocopeat bedding with some bird nest fern and some pothos
The frogs were covered with spots of cocopeats and we had them cleaned and housed seperately in twos per tub for quarantine and observation.
All looked good but today as we noticed when the lights go out...
we saw that the ones that awoke...started kickin their hind legs and yawning like motion.
i am guessing tat they are shedding their old skin...but all 6 of them at the same time...sounds kinda scary to me
They did have some food the night before...some lateralis juvies

We are kinda concerned as we love this new editions that we got...

Has anyone noticed this kinda behaviour from their reds ????

Thanks in advance guys...

Sounds like they might be shedding. Were they in a body position like mine in the front?

Yes, Sounds like shedding to me as well. Perfectly normal.
You may observe them wipe their faces and wipe one back leg with another.
Heather's photo is perfect to show the position they will be in when they start.
You will see them suck in their abdominal area, which is to loosen the skin.
They tilt their heads back and open their mouth very wide when they start to get the skin loose around the mouth.
A red eyed tree frog typically sheds as soon as the lights go out, as you have mentioned.

If they were kept in an enclosure without the improper humidity, they may not have been able to shed easily.

Enjoy your frogs !

Hi all and thanks for the info...yeah thats what they were doing and how they look like.
Well we managed to stabilized the 7 of them... chowing down on and decimating my lateralis population :\
Sadly we lost one last night...and is worried for the other two who are very stressed out and looks like they are quite worned out...
The importer kept them in a tank with cocopeat substrate and i guess that sort of like itch them out as they were covered with it...
Hope the rest of the 7 will get better and put on more weight...
