What to do...deformed Tree frogs

[Ebony]

That's nice of you to say Jace. I really love all those names... thanks. I can only pick two so Ive got some serious thinking to do.

I finally got some Fluker's calcium with vitamin D and they were the first to have it today. They certainly have wonderful appetites so now have little round belly's. Ive grown quite fond of them.

I hope they make it Ebony... and they may adapt to the handicap given some time. Given the choice I'd bet they'd choose to live, too! For the names I came up with "Gimp" and "Gump". Gimp is a term used in mmo's describing a character that isn't "quite up to par" and the Gump is for Forrest Gump who taught us a few lessons regardless of his handicap. An alternative name is "Inshallah" which is an Arabic term meaning "God Willing". I'll be cheering them on over here <g>

[Ebony]

Thanks for the cool names. Ive decided to go with Inshallah (God willing) and Philomenia (loved) Because they are so loved and God willing they make it.

Good choices... look forward to updates when you post them up too

How are they doing Ebony?

[Ebony]

Hi there, How have you been? How's the gorgeous Chester doing?

Inshallah and Philomenia are doing amazingly. They are eating well and growing fast with nice little plump tummy's. Ive been giving them heaps of variety. I just gave them a lovely moth each that I hatched from wax worms. Im not going to put them into hibernation like the rest of my frogs as I want them to grow up a bit more. I will post some photo's soon. Thank you for asking.

So glad to hear! They've crossed my mind a few times and kept meaning to ask. Chester is doing great, just posted a photo of his weight-loss to the forum. Still cheering for Inshallah and Philomenia, but it sounds like they've successfully cleared the woods. Will watch the photo albums <g>

That is great. I meant to ask you this yesterday but you sidetracked me.

Hi Ebony

I am super new here and don't have a lot to contribute, but I wanted to offer up my support!
I had to have my frog euthanized about a week ago, so it makes me really happy to see that these little cuties are doing so well. Keep up the great work and please post some pics so we can watch them grow up!

[Ebony]

Hey thanks guys, You are all so wonderfully caring and supportive.

froggy bottom, Im sorry you had to get your frog euthanized. That would have been very hard for you. You did what was best for your frog and that is a good thing. My heart goes out to you.

I really want to get some photo's up for you all. They aren't as calm as my other frogs and as soon as Im about to take their photo's they jump for cover. They are very lively little rascals. I do plan on getting them out today so I will get some photo's up later today.

Ebony, you have such a big heart, I would have done the same thing. I certainly hope that they won't have to pass away- but in the end I believe that you will do what is best for them. Whether that is nursing them successfully, or whether they simply cannot make it. Good luck, sweetheart- I will pray for them.

Thanks Kelsey, I got them back in March.They are doing really well and have grown so much. Inshallah is a male and Philomenia is a female. Here is the latest photo that ive taken of them.
