Question about Diludeing pedialyte

[Locascio]

Im trying to soke some of my frogs and i got some unflavored pedialyte how do i go about doing it safely? ive always used honey for this but i want to try this could i get some more details thanks for the help

[Mentat]

1:10 Pedialyte to de-chlorinated water solution (bath for 15 min. daily) is what I read here. Never had to use myself, good luck Vince !

[Lija]

it depends on the amount of electrolytes your frog need, 1:10 as Carlos said is typically advised ratio for non complicated cases, 1:6 or 8 is recommended for more difficult cases and in critical cases you can go for smaller ratio.

2 of my blues haveint eaten in 3-4 days and am worryed it doseint look like there inpackedid ive been feeding pacman food and tonight i offerd them all earth worms these 2 didnt eat ive got 1000 crickits comeing on friday but i want to treat them for now there in a small tuppire contaner with papper towls temp 81 im in fla so there outside.one of them is pulling its hind leg in the air and wiggleing its toes but isint takeing any food from the tongs he as so will open his mouth if i pick him up i dont know if this will help but hes not acting like anyof my other frogs

[Lija]

lol some of mine are not acting how a frog should, like my male ornate would bite, sometimes it looks like that - he is opening his mouth and sits like that and i believe he never caught a cricket in his life, too lazy for that lol

your frogs look perfectly fine to me. give them some time, may be they are just not hungry.

Vince the raising of the leg and wriggling the toes is a lure to attract prey. Especially other frogs. Try the pedialyte bath and see if their appetites return. I would also have a fecal exam done if the poop in the next day or so.

Ok ill have my doc look at there fecals this weekend. i dont think thay will have worms seeing as how there so young and are CB by mike the only way i could see them getting worms is from the crickits ive been feeding other than that thay haveint come in contact with anything other than the other frogs from mike. thay do look good and healty other than the opening of the mouth

Are you keeping them outside ? The answer to your problems other than keeping them all together may be right there . Id be worried about pesticides coming in from the city or count spraying for mosquitoes and and wild bugs that may be getting in with them and they are eating them . I had one of my lime green albinos just up and die the other day . The rest of the ones I got at the same time are fine but that one was fine and then the next day it was dead . No warning signs nothing . Sometimes with animals espically abnormal ones there are weak genes and they will just die for no outward apparent reason .

so sorry to hear Vince, that is horrible, hope the rest of your frogs are all right.

im not worryed about keeping them out side i have a back room called a florida room with a larg windo, and that doseint have A/C so the temps are just right and the night time lows dont drop to an unsafe lvl. no bugs get into this room and ive hept all my other larger frogs in there for months with no problem. im thinking that what ever it is that is killing off my frogs haseint spread it seems to be contained to one bin i gess its an lurning exp and ill be more aware of the worning sings next time. all my other froggies are fat and healthy feeding on earth worms now im cutting back on the pacman food for a lil wille

[Lija]

I'm thinking of something that might caused it and can't come up with anything... healthy frog living in ideal environment, eating no problem, refused to eat for 4 days in a row and still looked healthy and suddenly died.... poisoning of some sorts? do you have any vets around who can do necropsy on a frog? because whatever this is, is very weird.

[Locascio]

No but the hours leading to his death he kept his head tilted down like he was looking at the ground he passed about 1:30 last night from the pics you would think he was healthy now my other one is doing the head tilt thing I really can't lose yet another froggie to an unknown illness

I'm sorry for your frog death Vince ! Not sure what's going on; but would isolate any frog that came into contact with dead or sick one's. Also, make sure you wash hands with disinfectant soap between handling different frogs. Last thing you want is to spread a contagious deadly disease among them. Good luck !

[GrifTheGreat]

Whatever it is it is most likely communicable. I would place all your frogs in temparary separate tubs. 1 per tub so that what ever this might be doesn't spread.
