    Default Ill Leopard frog; PLEASE help!

    The orange cubes are good. They have vitamin C in them. You can use bananas, apples, oranges, romaine lettuce, carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, potatoes, Cheerios. Just no cabbage (not even small pieces) and no tomatoes. Tomatoes are poisonous to frogs. Be sure to rinse all fruit and veggies well before feeding the crickets. I thoroughly rinse and then rinse again in dechlorinated water. Toss out anything that begins to smell or rot.

    You can buy Repashy online. It's the best IMO.

    I'm glad to hear he's eating. How do the spots look?

    Are you dechlorinated his water?

    Oh, and does the calcium have vitamin D3 in it?

    Our water doesnt have chlorine in it, as I said I live in the country with well water. I can taste the chlorine in the city water. I have had our water tested by the pet store when establishing my fish tank. I do have dechlorinater for fish tanks I received for free when buying s fish tank; but I don't know if its safe for frogs, I know the store sales stuff specific for frogs, I just dont have any. I can get my water tested again when going to get more crickets if needed.

    His spots have cleared up, but the one on his back, which I wonder if its a scab from the fungus, so i dabbed it with neosporin too.

    yes it has D3

    Just watch out for heavy metals in well water. I have unchlorinated well water also, but the heavy metal content is ridiculously high. So I use bottled distilled dechlorinated water in my frog tank.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    I have a few of test kits for fish tanks, what should I use to test their water for heavy metal?
    I tested tap for Nitrite (NO2-) and Ammonia, (NH3, NH4+) Both tested clean. But Im sure those are both fish waste test. I cant find any more test I have....
    Distilled water, like the 98 cent stuff, will work?

    Ok so I did some research, I got distilled for the misting bottle, and I picked up some deer park (and a small thing of store brand for topping off) spring water for my frogs. My water did test positive for a heavy metal, but dont remember which one.

    I also picked up rep-cal advance formula herptivite with beta carotene for them (Rep-Cal Herptivite Reptile and Amphibian Multivitamins | Health & Wellness | PetSmart)

    I hope this is right. If I take a picture of the tank set up will you tell me if it looks right?


    Oh darn! sulfadiazine has sulfa, which im allergic to! another person would have to apply if I manage to afford it.
