    Default Weekend With No Electricity!

    I just spent the weekend with no electricity or heat at all, wow was it cold. Just above freezing weather, my poor frogs where freezing there buts off. I did my best to keep the room with the frog tank warm with a propane cook stove but it was cold enough to see my breath in the mornings. We had a huge freezing rain storm and it knocked to power out all over the place. My 4 Bronze Mantellas seem ok today, I have only counted three at once but its not often I see all for in the open. Three cold nights and 4 cans of propane later I realized I needed to account for power outages before now!

    All the plants look good, the moss is great other then no new growth since the black out. I think all four frogs are well. they seem little shy today. I can never spot the difference's in the four frogs so when i see them i need to just count, if I get to four Im good, A lot of the time's i only get to three or two even, but Ive spotted three at the same time since the power's come back on. keeping my eyes out to try and spot four at the same time.
    Thanks for your concern.

    I'm glad your pet's survived ! Yep, got to plan for all eventualities for when Murphy Law strikes. Would leave habitat alone for a day after temp's reach normal levels. Those frogs must be stressed and need their energies to recover. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    All four frogs accounted for and doing well! They seem to have resumed normal behavior. I'm so lucky they pulled though.
