What to do...deformed Tree frogs

[PsionicRat]

With animals in my care I'll take quality over quantity any day. If they're eating, they're likely quite happy. Give them time, work out an environment that caters to their special need and pay close attention to their personalities. If they are suddenly lethargic, unwilling to eat or otherwise less responsive than you feel is healthy for longer than you feel is healthy.. then.. do what must be done. It's a hard decision but then you never know, they may live long, healthy lives with a bit of help from you.

I've had to decide on my unfair share of euthanasia, so I know it's hard. I wish the best for them. They *are* awfully cute.

Thanks for your input. I am prepared to look after them, I just hope im doing the right thing for them. I will make sure their home is full of moss and no area's that they could hurt them selves. When they jump they use their arms to support the landing more than the legs. They do have a water dish at the moment and are climbing in and out of it OK.

NW Amphibian Rescue, Thank you for your kind words. These little guys need a chance.

Im just curious, but how do you euthanize frogs?

I read that you place the frog in a air tight jar with some Ether - a vet is the person to do this.
Apparently it is basically an overdose of anesthetic...
