    Default Cloudy eyes

    One of my White's Tree Frogs has very cloudy eyes... I read online that this could be caused from an excess of moisture in the tank with them... which stupid me didn't realize until last night... so after disinfecting everything with insanely hot water (not the frogs, obviously, they were in a separate container) and drying out the tank (there was about an inch of water in the bottom!) And the excess moisture could cause a bacterial infection...

    Am I on the right track here? There is no vet in the area that knows *anything* about amphibians (or reptiles), but if I have a starting point, maybe my current vet can help me out somehow....

    He does eat... a little... but I am wondering if he's essentially blind at the moment?

    Hi silivrentoliel,
    sorry your frog is having a problem
    Cloudy eyes could be (?) a bacterial infection; as long as you are sure nothing got in the frogs eyes. Be sure there is good ventilation as well. Most tree frogs need good ventilation to reduce the risk of respiratory issues that can lead to infections. Since the frog is eating , you could wait a day or two, but no longer. Then, you should email Dr Frye. Keep the soaking dishes REALLY clean--change daily---dechoirinated water--make sure he soaks. You might get him into a quarantine/hospital tank to keep a closer eye on him? Whoops ---I see you have 2 whites--- In fact--- he really should be separated from the other ( if they have been together). If you do have to contact Dr Frye - make sure he knows you have 2 frogs.

    Quarantine instructions and Dr Frye's contact information is here:

    I'm taking him into the vet Friday (I have an appt for one of my dogs already)... as for quarantine... DH took my last tank for his plants, so unless I can use the tupperware feeding container I've been using to feed Echo and just set it in the current tank.... I'm can't separate them (and can't go buy one because we're currently snowed/iced in).

    if you have a "largish" tupperware bin lying around, you can use that. just make sure you provide ventilation holes, otherwise the setup would be the same. i keep 2 large size (66qt and 30qt) on standby as quarantine/hospital tanks.
