As for the vet and fecal exam, how urgent do you think it is? I called the exotic vet clinic for pricing, and it will cost $75 per frog for fecal and check up and everything, not even counting the medicine if they have parasites. I don't have the money for this now... I would have to put aside some money and save for a couple of weeks. Michelle, I saw on a different thread you commented about a honey soak? How would that work? Have you done it on your frogs and has it worked, not for treatment for parasites of course but just to perk them up a bit? And are there other things like that to tide my frogs over while I get the money together?

Thank you to everyone who has commented on this thread. I am such a newbie, but I want to do it right and I really appreciate everyone's help.
Honestly, live plants are almost 0 hassle. I just planted mine and water them every couple days and that's about it. If you get plants that grow quickly you may have to trim them back once in a while, but that's about it. My frogs prefer the real plants in my tank to the fake ones. Glurmo loves to sit on the snake plant and Lrrr sleeps inside the dracaena.

The fecal exam is better done sooner rather than later. Parasites can cause a lot of problems if left untreated. Here is a link to an exotic vet that has been recommended many times on this forum:

Although I'm not sure of his pricing? It's worth a look though!

I have done a honey soak on both of my frogs when I first got them. Sometimes when frogs enter new surroundings they get stressed and wont eat and get lethargic. Putting a couple drops of honey in some warm water and letting your frogs soak for 15 minutes or so can help perk them up a bit. Honey also has anti fungal qualities and, in my experience, can help with impaction.
