The weekend of the 23rd, I went to the Doncaster Reptile Expo and purchased a trio of White's from a well respected breeder. Within 24 hours noticed one of them not moving much, had constricted pupils, and was refusing food. After some time would just go limp and not move at all. Within 48 hours of getting him home, he passed away.
The other two frogs seemed fine, lively and active, both eating. One of them has not been eating for the past few days, and today noticed the same behavior the other frog had before passing away.
I've spoken to a friend of mine who has kept White's for years, and she suggested posting something here for any other advice. I had spoken to the breeder when the first one went ill, and he was unsure of what it could be.
Temperatures are 28 C (82.4 F) heated with a heat pad controlled by a stat
Misting with bottled water (never tap water)
Eco Earth Substrate
These are some pics I took of him this morning.
The other frog has been moved into a viv by himself, which is what I did with the other two when I noticed the first one go ill. I housed them together originally, as they were all kept together at the breeder's.
Any advice is appreciated.
