It is late here so I am just responding to get subscribed to the thread and to note one thing in your list that I would change.

You are doing the proper amount of supplements for calcium. Does your calcium supplement have D3 added?

Also you need to add in a multivitamin dusting of the food 1 time a week. I dust with Calcium+D3 3x (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) Multivitamin 1 time a week (Sunday).

I just switched to Rapashys multivitamins. Through reading it seems like the Rapashy multivitamin uses a better delivery method for vitamin A. Repcals delivery method is now thought to not be as effective as the Repashy method for frogs.

Hi Paul, yes the calcium I use (Flukers is the only one available here) has D3 added
I have looked around in the past for a multivitamin supplement, but to no avail (see problems with living at the bottom of the world >.<). I'll try looking again.

bump! Froakie still alive (that makes one day longer than Treecko.) Still lethargic and dull coloured, perks up a little when I spray him with water. Still very sleepy, and I'm trying to keep him warm. (but not too hot)

Okay, so I was taking some pictures of Froakie in the quarantine tank to see if the camera could pick up anything my eyes couldn't see.. lo and behold! The flash picked up some very small lighter green spots on his back, (will post when I can) that look very similar to the spots other frogs on this forum have developed when they have a bacterial infection. Although I may be too late in finding this, I've applied some Neosporin without painkiller to his back in the hopes that the antibiotic properties might help him. If I could do more, I would, but its 10pm at night so I wont be able to do anything else till tomorrow. Still keeping him in quarantine and changing towels and water everyday to try and minimize the bacterial load (if that is what it is) in his system

Froakie died last night. It's pretty sad, considering he was my first frog. I'm trying to figure out what caused his and Treecko's death, but I'm coming up dry. Maybe the moss was contaminated or something. All I can do now is make sure the others don't get sick too.
