don't quite understand what is annoying for you exactly. Trouble in the enclosure questionnaire is very important diagnostic tool, that is why we constantly asking people to reply to these questions. when something is wrong we need to figure out what exactly and why, so it is possible to fix it and help the frog and in a lot of cases save it.
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

Imagine you go to see a doctor when sick and get annoyed when handed a questionnaire upon arrival and threaten to leave the office. Strange as that illusion sounds, you just did the same here.
Those questions were not written to annoy anyone. They were selected to provide a background from where to make proper recommendations to improve a frog's health. And when answered, they are not ignored; but incorporated into the recommendations to issue at hand. It's your choice to answer or not; but be aware that we are no mind readers or clairvoyants in here.
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Hi Robert,
Our intent is to gather as much information as quickly as possible about an ill frog or about a member's questions as to how to take care of their frog properly.
Members, come here for help. We jump in as quickly as possible to help a member make necessary changes.
Imagine how many posts - back and forth- members would have to read and type ! to get all those important questions answered.
It would take valuable time. Members would have to wade through man many posts vs getting an answer they may need immediately.
When we try to help a frog we would rather read one post instead of 21 separate posts( there are 21 questions on the questionnaire )
New members, especially new frog owners, have very good intentions when they decide to purchase a frog.
I'll put it a different way for you.
-may have no experience on how to care for their frog(s) , so sadly the frog begins to decline
-when they go to purchase a frog they have no idea which frog to choose
- they often are not given the proper information or do not read anything before purchasing a frog
- they need information on creating and even finding the perfect enclosure and components needed for the frog's habitat
- they need information as to how to make a frog feel more secure
- they may mix species
-they need support regarding the proper temps and humidity
- thy may never use water conditioning
- they may even think their frog is ill when observing a shed for the first time
- they may never use vitamins or calcium supplements until it's too late
We really don't care if a person makes a mistake, we don't judge. We simply want to help; and as quickly as possible.
If you should have ideas or thoughts regarding faster ways to gather needed information to help a fellow member ( and frog) in need, by all means , please chime in ( on a separate thread, please) as we take pride in collaborating with each other.
This thread should remain Phil's !
