    Thank you for the amounts, I appreciate every ones help. I will get it tonight. How many times should he be placed into the pedialyt bath? He is blind so he is not sure where everything is in the tank. I have been placing him into the bath and removing him. I have been leaving him in the bath for about 10-20 minutes 2 times each day so far. These frogs mean so much to me, all of them, they are such blessings.

    I gave frog pedialyt today and it give him a bit of energy. Still not eating though, the melafix come in so I am going to treat him later tonight. Since I didn't have anything for him last night, I treated him for parasites like I do all my other frogs and gave him a bath in distilled water with some colloidal silver. His red leg tinge is completely gone! Will keep in touch, may need more help if he doesn't eat by tomorrow. Thank you all.

    Im glad the ped helped and his red legs are better too. He will get used to where everything is in his tank.
    Dont forget: blind pets are some of the best. Yes they require extra care and help, but they are cool.

    I have had two blind mantids at different times. One damaged his eyes when he molted, the other Im not sure what happened to her. Her eyes became pitted and black. They both were the sweetest praying mantids Ive had.

    I knew a blind cat some people had. He knew where everything was in the house. He really liked me and some yarn I brought to show off. Before I knew it, he was laying on it! I took it home and made him a blankie with it.
    He will be ok.
