    Default Introducing my red eyed to the forum :p

    This is bug. Tiny itty bitty froggy. Hardest to take pictures of so sorry they're blurry..he's so small my camera won't focus right but he's so calm and didn't care that I was trying to take pictures, just walked all over me haha. Anyway here's Bug.

    I took the plants out to take the pictures I swear he has plants

    He is a cutie. It appears you are quite taken with him.
    I'm happy for you that you finally got him.

    Congratulations! Now the bad news. If I were you, I would put him in a glass tank rather than a critter keeper/faunarium, as they are made out of polycarbonate and can possibly kill a young Agalychnis callidryas. Last year I lost all but one of my froglets. I was at a loss as to what was killing them. So I ended up talking to a breeder of Agalychnis annae/callidryas and she said that when they put froglets into polycarbonate cages the frogs' skin secretions would break down the plastic releasing toxins, thus killing them. It seamed pretty anecdotal, but like I said one did survive from last year and there was only one that did not get all put into polycarbonate. Coincidence? Who can say?

    That's very scary Kurt, Ive always put froglets into those plastic aquariums and im sure many other's do too. Im not going to take the risk next year. Thanks so much for that information.

    I raised my young Gray Treefrogs for the first couple of months in a critter keeper with no problems. After reading this, I'm too paranoid to use anything other than glass for froglets!

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Thank you so much Kurt! I'll put him in the spare glass tank I have when I get home. Good thing I kept that! Thank you thank you.
