The frog died yesterday. The last one is very big compared to the last two. He is very well fed with Melanogaster and Herptivite (contains calcium). I feed him daily. The temps range from 72 night - 80 day. I bought them all at once about 1-2 months ago at a exotic pet store. No idea on current age but they were all adults. I dont have a read on humidity but it is a closed 20g with a large waterfall. I use a mix of t-rex junglebed and ABG. Lots of moss (although the moss isnt doing very well. I never handle the frogs ever. I have a wood tree stump with a fern growing out of it. 2 broms. Creeping fig. Oak leaf fig. Jade. Live oak leaves from joshsfrogs. Small pond that isnt higher than there heads. Lost of hiding spots. I dont see poop but I cant really tell cuz there is dirt everywhere. The frogs are in a small bedroom that has a/c and heater that keep its temp normal, I am in the room sitting at my computer for about 4-6 hours/day maybe more on the weekend. For maintenance I wipe the inside of the glass with a paper towel sometimes but usually just spray it down with a spray bottle.

Today the last frog that I have in that tank started seizing when I fed him and after a bit got up and seems fine. This one is usually the boldest, full of energy and likes to approach the glass when I am feeding or sitting in the room.

I have another small 10g vertical tank with 1 imitator that ive had for almost 2 years, he has had no problems.

There are spider webs inside the enclosure, ive seen the spiders, very small, about the size of the flies. I have read that this shouldnt be a concern and the frogs usually eat them.?

I will email Dr Frye and post a pic asap, any advice/help is appreciated, thanks guys.

When I dust the flies I put the dust in a small container, dump flies in, mix, then let the flies crawl on my finger and then shake my finger above the tank to get them off. Sometimes some of the dust gets on my finger and a very small amount will fall into the tank. A few times the dust has landed on the frogs, they dont respond to it but I spray them with water to get it off.... Does this dust hurt them if it comes in contact with there skin?..... may be a silly question.

First of all I want to say I am sorry for your losses and I wish I could help find the cause.
If you are using Herptivite by Rep-Cal it does not have calcium in it. You have to buy the calcium separately. And I have heard you should not mix them because the frogs wont absorb either very well. Instead you should alternate between the two. For example, I don't know how often you feed but maybe calcium 3X a week and vits 2X a week with a couple days with neither. You can tweak it to whatever works for you I hope this makes sense. I am not very good at explaining things.
