Dead Frog ;(

[ElfDa]

As someone who has kept tarantulas for some years, I'm all too familiar with an animal being stressed out by its food--especially when they're young.

I cannot how many times I have exclaimed "it's your FOOD! You eat it; not run from it!"

I can imagine a young frog, already stressed from a show and new home, being further stressed by roaming foodstuffs.

Quick question: could an electrolyte bath have helped, here?

It wasn't the food. She ate the second day I had her before retreating underground.

I believe it could have Elfda. I picked up a bottle of the stuff a while ago, incase I ever needed it. (I have various things like that in my frog drawer, you never know.)
So when I picked up my fantasy in April, he was showing bad signs of stress during feeding, throwig his head up and stretching his back legs. So I gave him one, dropped him back in his enclosure after.
The next day it was like he was a completely different animal.
Then a few days later, I was remoddeling a rack here, got a little noisy, stress symptoms again. Did the electrolyte bath again and in the half hour he was in there, his colour changed from dark to bright green and he was doing better again.
So I would recommend it for any frog that shows signs of stress.
