So important ---- especially for froglets -- most species
We want to be sure they are able to feed well before putting them into their permanent enclosures
Know who you're buying from
Know where a Herp vet is
When in QT watch for:
diarrhea
bloating
difficulty eating or catching feeders
Keep QTs simple with a little plant cover , clean frequently , use powerless/disposable gloves.
When cleaning - don't handle - use a clean dampened, container to remove the frog temporarily while cleaning ......... ie culture tube or food container

This is a great post. I had little knowledge about quarantining policies. This forum answered all my questions about quarantining my new frogs. Thanks Lynn for suggesting this for me, lots of good information.
First, this is a very informative thread and is greatly appreciated. I am anticipating getting 4 "patricia" dart frogs shortly, they are currently on sale at Josh's. But before I get any frogs, I want to be sure I have done everything that is needed. My new 24 inch cube viv is ready to go. I have a very thriving microfauna, springtails and isopods, in the tank and in new cultures. I am starting to culture fruit flies. The next phase regards what exactly to do once my new froggy friends arrive.
Since all 4 are coming from Josh's Frogs, I can assume they can stay together. My original plan was to go ahead and introduce them to the new vivarium. However after reading this post, I am guessing that would not be a smart thing. It would seem that quarantining the four in a relatively simple and small container for a month is needed. I assume this is to allow for the easy observation and monitoring.
I might have to move because of a potential new job. Would it be smart to wait until I find out about moving first, or will the use of a quarantine "home" be a way of limiting their stress of a potential move? Just thinking out loud and looking for confirmation of my thinking.
Thank you,
John
I don't know what I don't know and can't fix something unless I know its broken.
The A moreletii ( pictured here in my avatar <------ 'Boggie' ) was in quarantine for 6 months !
Long story --- but he was a sick , sick, sick baby !
So....... if anyone should need help 'force feeding' a tree frog ....'Boggie' and I have had a bit of practice
He and I refused to give-up............3 sets of fecals and 2 rounds of antibiotics and SSD for what seemed like forever.
Keep those soft cupcake icing/ decorators on-hand !
