I think my Green Tree Frog is Sick - Advice Please!

[moonpearl]

I had no idea about the water that they use for soaking in. I'll start doing that right away!

Unfortunately when I bought my other frog, I didn't even think about quarantining her. It's too late now, but if I ever get another frog in the future I will make a point to quarantine before introducing new guys.

I finally got some pics, but they are in pretty bad quality taken from my ipod. Some more high quality pics should be on there way when my camera is done being a pain.



This a picture of Dr. Og, after he was feeling a bit better.



Here's another photo of him.



This is their enclosure. Where the miniature container is there would usually be the water dish.



Here is my lizard Kerli, and my other frog Pro. Oak Blossom.



This is another photo of my other frog Oak Blossom, who I recently noticed also has some discoloration on her face and back. So far that is the only symptom she is showing. My lizard Kerli is perfectly fine, which leads me to think that this is a frog only problem.

Thanks for the link to the vets!

Sorry for double posting with you earlier Eli, I get distracted at work and sometimes one post will take me 20+ minutes to type up and then I ended up answering questions already answered!

I don't really notice a problem via the pictures but I have a few pointers.

Firstly, that tank is too small to house mixed species IMO. They might be "fine" but the symptoms you're seeing might be a sign of stress also. Even if you find them in the same environment naturally, they aren't always inches from each other for long periods of time. If you insist on keeping them together, I would definitely get more branches and places for them to hide out in there.

Is the water dish big enough that they can soak in? It's fine for them to drink the water from misting, but sometimes tree frogs enjoy a nice soak, even if it's just for pooping in.

If you never replanted the plant into a frog-safe soil, chances are pretty good that it still contains some sort of pesticides and fertilizers. Something that can really harm your pets. Even with marbles on it to prevent them from getting into it, one of them obviously got in there if he was covered in it. If he's trying to dig in, that could also be a sign of an issue such as improper heating or humidity. It would really help to gt that monitored.

50 watt lightbulb could really be drying out the enclosure too when you're using multiple bulbs on a tank that size. I use a 13-15 watt UVB on a bigger enclosure (along with an LED light that produces no heat.) I use a heat pad on the side of the tank if the temps start dropping too much during the cold winter months.

I would get to monitoring your temps and humidity as soon as you can. Even being slightly out of their range for a longer period of time can cause stress. I would say a vet exam is pretty much required once you have a lethargic frog that is refusing to eat.

You can pretty much follow the care listed here -- Frog Forum - Gray Tree Frog Care and Breeding for green tree frogs, but the anole might require slightly different care, I'm not sure as I haven't owned an anole since I was a child.

Good luck!

Hi everyone,

Dr. Ogg is practically his old self again! I got a new dual-thermometer, and when I put it in their enclosure it turned out that it was far too hot for the little guys! I think that Dr. Ogg had gotten dehydrated, and that's why soaking in the water helped him feel so much better. The lamp has been adjusted so that way it isn't putting as much heat on the little guys, and everything seems back to normal. Thanks again for all of the helpful advice, I've learned alot!
