    Well, I don't know the name of it, because my friend gave me a fairly big bag of the cricket food. It looks kinda like a grain, and its yellowish gold. I am sure its by flukers. And I also give them the blue gel water stuff LOL. I would not feel safe giving my critters outside bugs. That could cause a lot more problems LOL I herd you can buy NightCrawlers from fishing bait stops.

    As long as you are gut loading your crickets properly, you should be good. Earthworms are
    pretty healthy and i have never had any problems with them before. Keep him in quarantine
    untill you get positive stool samples without the worms.

    no it is not possible.

    Carlos is right, what you need to do is to get fecal test done for everyone. in order to do so you need to find a vet who specialize in reptiles and exotics and get samples of fresh poop to the clinic. Only then you can start treating accordingly to the vet instructions. never ever give meds without these tests done. because you don't know if you even need it, meds are administered accordingly to animal weight, so the dosage for your frogs is gonna be different from such for your geckos if needed of course.
    if anyone is infected it is not always easy to get rid of parasites.

    on the other note - don't use any chemicals for frogs, such as sunlight dish washing liquid that you used. it does nothing in terms of disinfection, but it is close to impossible to wash it of without any residue, no matter how well you wash it. use special disinfection liquids.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Here are a couple pictures of the tank Cast is in right now LOL. As well, I know that it is a defense thing, but when I hold him he tends to turn away from me until he sprays me with his water. I would like to know if it would be worth trying to handle him every once in a while until he becomes tame? Or would it not work and would he continue to just spray? I asked the breeder I bought him from if he had held him or how often he would hold him. He told me that he didn't hold them because frogs aren't meant to be held. I understand that, but it has been shown that these frogs do well with being handled with the right requirements, like washing hands without soap, and then washing them with soap after handling. I have done my research on the Whites tree frog. What is the best bedding to use? When I first bought him I bought Coco Husk bedding. But then again, his poop is the same color as the bedding. This makes it hard for cleaning. Name:  Cases tank.jpg

    Update on Castiel's worms. Since the quarantine, I have been looking for poop every day. Feed him 6-8 crickets in this past week. Today, I found a poop finally!! I grabbed a paper towel to pick it up, and I kinda squashed the poop a little bit so it would break apart in the paper towel. I saw some of a cricket's wing, head. I also noticed some of the bedding I was using was in the poop. So I don't think I will use that kind of bedding anymore. I am happy to say, that those white worms I saw are definitely not present.! Here are some pictures of the poop LOL! Please give me your thoughts.?Name:  IMG_3362.jpg

    That's great blaze! No Worms either It looks like he had a difficult time digesting the food, how warm do you keep him?
    The safest bedding you can use for whites is cocoanut husk, its usually under the brand of plantation soil, eco earth or beda-beast

    Hello Castiel! Read your posts and I'm still a bit unclear about what's going on with your White's frog and a male Gecko. Since I know nothing about the last, will discuss issue with frog.

    Until you have a herp veterinary examine frog or conduct a fecal test (or both) there is no telling if frog has parasites or not. Those little white worms you mention could be detritivores feeding off frog poop. Frog anti-parasite medications come in various forms and strengths and should be administered by a veterinary after weighting frog to ensure it's safety and treatment success.

    For gut loading crickets, use fresh carrots and lettuce, cereals like oat or cherrios, and veggie type fish food flakes. If buying canadian night crawlers ensure they are free of dyes or chemical fish attractants.

    Please read this article if you haven't done so and ensure your frog's enclosure meets all the recommended parameters. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
