Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am working on making the cage more humid.

Hi,
Sorry about this poor little guy
This frog traveled in very hot weather and very well could be dehydrated.

Important ! Disturb it as little as possible. Do not handle him if at all possible.

Their skin is extremely delicate and even more delicate when they are dehydrated.
It may not eat for a few days.
They become extremely stressed during transport.

I would re-hydrate it with a 1:10 solution of plain unflavored Pedialyte and distilled water.
(the kind from the supermarket used for babies the distilled water is there as well)
That's one part pedi to 10 parts water.

It might be best to dribble/drop the solution on it's back for tonight so you do not have to handle him.
His back only - not his head or face. Some water will trickle around to his belly ( where he needs it) helping him soak it in to re-hydrate.

You could do this with a new/cleaned eye dropper.
Drip several drops onto his back 4 or 5 times tonight. Wetting him down with it.
Then a few times again tomorrow.

If possible, do this without waking or touching him with the dropper or your hand! Let him rest. Let him sleep.
He should be kept in a very quiet area. Cover three sides of the tank with dark fabric. ( ie a green / dark bath towel)
Leave it covered for several days- exposing only the front to daylight.

Use very dampened paper towel ( w/ de-chlorinated water) for substrate on the bottom of the tank and provide a shallow soaking dish
( saucer type) with the same de-chlor water. If you do not have water de-chlorinater use 100% spring water for now. It is important, however, to get the de-chlor asap. Hopefully you are all set w/ small crickets, calcium powder and vitamins.

Vitamins / Calcium

Foods Line

You can mist the walls of the enclosure ( not the frog ) with distilled water to help keep the humidity up

The room he is in should be dark at night and lit during the day - creating a day/night cycle

Do not exceed these temp and humidity recommendations.

Hope this helps.

FIRST OFF THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REPLYING! Im totally in love with this amazing animal already and I just want him to be ok. I have a couple questions below...
I would re-hydrate it with a 1:10 solution of plain unflavored Pedialyte and distilled water.
(the kind from the supermarket used for babies the distilled water is there as well)
That's one part pedi to 10 parts water.
I dont have any pedialyte tonight. I have spring water and distilled, which one would be best to dribble on his back? I have been spraying the tank with the distilled but its void of minerals so spring would be better right?

Use very dampened paper towel ( w/ de-chlorinated water) for substrate on the bottom of the tank and provide a shallow soaking dish

He is in a 20 gallon high tank with a screen top. All of the screen top has tin foil covering it except where the heat lamp is...its a night bulb. I also have a heat pad on the bottom which helps with humidity but I think the tank needs more heat. The substrate is moss and its wet from me spraying it and from the zoo med habba mister I have spraying it. I have crickets(small) and multi vitamins and calcium with D.I added that to the water bowl as well because he wasnt eating. Is dechlorinated water different then spring and distilled or is it distilled?



Thank you so much for all the suggestions. Anything at all helps.
