    Good, at least one of them has an intestinal problem and since they live together are probably both infected.

    the enclosure is 60x40x40. with a mesh lid. The temp of water sits at 26c .. inside the tank is 23-24C (checked with a infra red thermometer)

    Recommend raise air temp to 29C (85F) for day. Night can drop between 20 to 24C.

    I only use pre boiled and rested water for misting

    You still need to treat tap water destined for water dish or water feature with dechlorinator like Tetra Aquatize or Seachem Prime. For misting can use distilled water to prevent water spots but avoid spraying frogs.

    main food source crickets with gutload calcium

    Still need to dust food with CA 2X and vitamins 1X weekly on different days with skip day in between. Repashy and RepCal make good products.

    i see regular droppings that seem to have firmed slightly ... but still definately not the same as my other healthy Green tree Frog. more like really wet peanut butter at times.

    Let us know what veterinary finds. Good thing is your frogs are still eating and pooping.

    Thank you very much for helping so far ... does any of these symptoms or information help any further??? i am worried about the little guys and only want them happy and healthy
    Hi, went ahead and gave you some tips to add to previous post. Do take frogs with recent poop samples to vet, need to fid out what is causing runny poop. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Ok so fecal done today

    turns out prior to me having them they were too exposed to their own poo

    mixed population of flagellated protozoa

    oxymonad
    trichomonads
    diplomonads

    so i have oral meds for 5 days for them .02 mls Flagyl Suspension

    which i have found is rather interesting ... even tho they will take crickets by hand trying to shove a syringe in while there mouth opens is another story :P

    have been told to gently try a credit card or soft baby spoon etc ... so will see how i go

    now i will continue to fatten them up and spoil them rotten

    Haven't done it; but read here it's easier when a person hold frog and opens mouth and another administers medication. Would search the term "force feed" in forum to read more about it .

    Reptile Products You Can Trust | Reptile Basics Inc this works great for giving liquid meds. Or you can inject the meds into the feeder bug if they will tong feed. I've found wax worms or butter worms work best using this method. This is how I was able to get my 3 WTF healthy when having to medicate them.
