Our Fantasy passed last night ...

[Martinez family]

Our Fantasy passed away last night. I am totally shocked too. The Fantasy was set up the same way my others are. My albino is doing just fine along with my 3 new ones. Oh yeah, we added 3 more this past weekend. Will post pics a bit later. I see how everyone here in the forum shows love, dedication and a serious approach to what you are all doing. How about some advice, stories and things to share for new families like us. I have read the main care and breeding thread along with many others. They are great and filled with so much information. Thing is, I am sure a few can share some learning experiences with me and my family. To educate us and allow us to move forward properly. Thanks everyone!

I'm sorry for your loss, sometimes you can give the best care/love/husbandry and for no apparent reason they pass.

I'm sorry about your frog passing. This is a great site, people here can help you a lot. Good luck with your other babies.

so very sorry for your loss, it is so sad(((( yeah, sometimes they're just not making despite all proper things you do.
just to cover all bases - would you please elaborate on how this happened and if anything at all was out of normal and if your albino had contact with fantasy at all.

we sure will share whatever we know with people who wanna know, we are doing it all the time, just let us know what is it you wanna know, sometimes we don't know the answer and are figuring stuff together.
as for your 3 new ones - make sure you quarantine them for about 30 days prior to adding to your collection, meaning nothing you use for them ( if they came from one source) can be used for the rest of your guys, you gotta use different tongs, bowls, etc and keep an eye for anything unusual. if they are from different suppliers ( or stores) then you need to do everything separately from each of them as well. congratulation of getting new babies!

I'm very sorry for your loss. It is true that sometimes they just pass for no apparent reason. This is the one ofnthe worst ways to lose them because there is pretty much no way of knowing. Even a nechropsy can come up with nothing. I know first hand that sometimes the most healthy of frogs can be the first to pass and you just keep thinking to yourself that you did something wrong, but most of the time it is caused by underlying problems that don't show until it is too late.
Once again I'm sorry.

Congrats on the new editions!

Sorry for the Fantasy frog death ! Baby Pacman frogs are sensitive to their temperature and humidity environment. Too colds temps have been associated with chronic and permanent damage to their kidneys and lymph hearts. Not measuring and knowing these parameters (no. 3 & 4) is a big risk, specially with multiple frog systems.
