    Default Frogs sleeping on ground

    I just read that tree frogs sleeping on the ground is abnormal. I have had two dumpies for a little under a week now. They often sleep on the ground and do not do a lot of high climbing. They have been eating normally and I gave them 2 crickets each today dusted in panacure. The vets around here know very little about frogs- any advice or words of wisdom?

    Give them the Panacur for a total of 3 feedings, no more. If they are new frogs they will need some time to adjust to the new home. As long as they are eating and look good they are probably fine. Let them settle in a bit. I am glad to see you treating for parasites with new frogs, good idea.

    Here it is. The last picture is of Arnie and friend. They are on there bridge but I put them there after their dinner. Friend usually hangs out in the back on the floor behind the waterfountain when he sleeps. Any tips on the setup or otherwise is always welcomed.

    After Kurt posted about Dumpys on the ground I packed my frog and went to my local reptile store expert to have him looked at. He said the frogs will go where the temp is to their liking. Also the frog had been looking a little lethargic and boy howdy!!!! did the trip perk him up. He seems to like the 15 watt light bulb on and will clamp onto the glass underneath. The room is at a comfortable temp but guess frog likes the light better.
