    He looks pretty dead to me. And he is bruised. I have a pic of the bruising. It must be from the fall. The flash brought it out big time. The bruises are not that red at all, just slightly different color than the rest of him. I cannot believe this is happening. This one lasted a week here. I am getting worse at this it would seem.Name:  alvin dead bruising.jpg

    Aw poor little thing. Those do look like tender bruises.

    Please don't give up. You now also have that new little one who will need you - better than seeing him back in a pet store to be bought for a child's half gallon kritter keeper nightmare.

    Ugh, not sure about that. Might be better off back in the nicely planted tank at the pet store with his friends I will post pics of him when I am more in the mood. The tank looks freaking awesome. I wish I could enjoy it more at the moment. Bah.

    Thanks for all your help,

    Not to be horrible, but if it looks like he is dying, and you know he is in a lot of pain, it may be best to put him down humanely

    Clover oil then vodka will put him to a quite and peaceful death.

    I really hope he recovers

    He is dead. I am leaving him alone propped up on wisteria but he is dead. I am only going thru the motions of making sure he is dead so that later on I don't think I disposed of him alive. I will dispose of him in the morning when he has proven that he is dead.

    Thank you.

    Looks like his hind legs were damaged somehow during the escape. Really sad, have you found out how he managed to get out? May want to lower the water a bit more as well.

    I had the tank wide open to rearrange stuff. He apparently got out while I was right there. I am terrified to ever open the top again. Ugh

    I'm sorry you had to experience that

    Even so, don't be discouraged from keeping these guys. Everyone makes mistakes at the start, I certainly did.

    I think Michael is right about lowering the water, it should prevent your other little guy from getting out. As for how he got out, check the corners of the lids. If you don't press them down enough sometimes, there's large holes that a frog could get out of. I know, because I've seen my Chorus frog, Chrome, squeeze through one with ease.

    And I know exactly how you feel about being terrified of taking the lid off of a tank and putting it back on. I'm always terrified when that I put the crickets in my Chorus frogs' tank that my little rascals are going to leap out and hop away too fast to catch them!
