Sick Tree Frog

[Kurt]

I'm just putting this out there, but I wonder if the plastic water dish might be an issue? I know on another thread in the forum, it was mentioned not to keep young frogs in plastic pet containers as they seem to die-perhaps from the plastic leaking soemthing. With all the negativity about plastic everything nowadays, I wonder if it could be true for using plastic water dishes, especially with frogs being so sensitive?

The jury is still out on that. I have talked to one breeder who stated that polycarbonate cages (faunarium, critter keepers, and so on) kill baby red-eyes. I know of no scientific data to back-up that claim.

Then I talked to Michael Novy and he said that's BS, and that he uses them all the time with no problem. Still I feel safer glass, because I know that is inert.

I use Kritter Keepers to quarantine frogs, including Agalychnis sp. and have never had issues from them.
