    So, I have unfortunate tidings to report. While at work my room mate administered the honey bath, which seemed to perk up my little frog and she hopped around for a bit. When I got home though she was practically limp no hopping or resistance when I gently picked her up. She's pretty cool to the touch and her legs have basically given way beneath her. I'm pretty sad about this, as this is both the frogs I had sent to me and I looked forward to watching these two grow. They were from Samurai-Japan Reptiles, which I believed to be a very good breeder. Maybe they are, just had very bad luck. I know there are no guarantees on frogs, but my room mate encouraged me to talk to Jim. He knows I lost the last one and offered a deal if I buy from him again. But this time I just decided to contact the breeder, Yusuki from Samurai Reptiles. I just said I knew there was no guarantee but that I was sad by the loss of the first and illness of the second and asked if he could help me with a deal on another frog when he breeds his ornates. I wonder if I someone made a mistake. Salsa (the albino) had a night crawler piece slightly bigger than herself and I thought it may have been a cause. She was bigger for a while, but the last few days she was smaller like she passed it. I couldn't find a poop, or the crickets I put in the tank with her.

    Night crawlers don't cause impaction. Something else was ailing the frog before death.

    The only other thing on my end I can thing of is water. I use Exo Terra Aquatize Exo Terra : Aquatize / Terrarium Water Conditioner to quickly prepare water. I use the required amount of drops, sometimes a little bit more cause I don't boil the water. But maybe now I should boil it then cool it and add the drops.

    Did your roommate dechlorinate the water before administering the bath? Also did you give exact instructions on water temp?

    I had the instructions open on this website on this thread. She warmed it and used a temperature gauge.
