    Default Trouble in the Frog tank RETF

    We went on vacation with a friend watching our frogs for a week (April 6-13). when we got back one of our Females was stick thin. We assumed it was lack of food due to inadequate available by our friend and harassment from the males who are becoming more assertive in mounting up.
    We have moved her to an isolation tank last Thursday (April 17) to observe her. Prior to moving her, here is the info.

    1-size of enclosure 90 gallon

    2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?) 8 total, 4 males, 4 females counting her, all adult
    3-humidity about 70
    4-temp 76F
    5-water - type; Filtered aquarium bottom in the tank with small 1" catfish and 2" Pleco. Misting water is filtered dechlorinated tap, soaking water in Isolation tank is same as misting.
    6-materials used for substrate: Rock, coco fiber, dirt, paper towel in Isolation.
    7-enclosure set up: Live plants grown for 2+ months outside enclosure, everything washed well in hot water lightly chlorinated water then rinsed with frog safe water then let dry for a day. Fake plants boiled and allowed to dry for Isolation.
    8-main food source: Chrickets from Flukers or LLLReptile
    9-vitamins and calcium ? occasionally with reptivite
    10-lighting: LED in main tank, jungle cfl for isolation
    11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure: Aquarium heater maintaining water temp in big tank, heat pad on back of isolation tank.
    12-when is the last time he ate: one 3/16" cricket 2 nights ago.
    13-have you found poop lately: Unknown before move to isolation, Once since and no solids
    14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
    15- how old is the frog: ordered as juvenile one year ago
    16-how long have you owned him: one year
    17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred: CB LLLReptile
    18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats: offered to the group every night, Crickets only.
    19- about how often the frog is handled; only when necessary for tank cleaning/ moving tanks
    20-is the enclosure is kept in a high or low traffic area: high traffic area for the big tank, low traffic for isolation.

    She still hasn't been eating since we moved her except one cricket, and she has started sleeping in the cricket dish, water dish, on the substrate....
    I will attach photos in next post.
