Rescued a WTF!

[Mushrooms]

Amy it is one of those dial hydrometers, it was only a cheap one so im begining to think its just really useless. The tank is ventilated by mesh at the top and little vent slats along the front. A little after you replied last night the humidity was reading 75% this morning then I turned the light on its literally shot up to 90% and by just putting my hand in there I can tell it is not that humid at all.
Any one reccomend a better type of hydrometer?

Congratulations - He hit the 'honey pot'
It's funny how they find YOU

The hygrometers are very frustrating.
Use a fan ? Ventilate a little more? Move them around ?
I have never found one that is reliable.
You want to use them as a guide while you are getting comfortable making a judgement on the humidity.
Maintaining his temp is more important.

If ....or .... when you add any wood to the enclosure be sure to bake it first--- to get rid of all the nasties.
Plants should be prepped first --- bleach dipped roots and all ( 1:10) (bleach:water) then rinsed, rinsed, rinsed in de-chlorinated water.

When rinsing -- submerse the entire plant. If it's a delicate plant re-pot it into ABG / spray it often / and wait several weeks to 'grow it out' before planting it into the frogs's enclosure.

Thanks for helping save this frog from dying baked ! Here is a good care guide for them: Frog Forum - White's Tree Frog Care - Litoria caerulea. Try and find ReptaBoost locally and use it to dust it's crickets for a week, then go into a normal dusting schedule: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html. Make sure crickets are smaller than distance between frog's eyes and gut load them with carrots, lettuce, and cherios 24-48 hours before feeding frog. Hope it recovers soon and good luck !

flybyferns - I will perhaps move the tank, it's currently in quite a tucked up corner so ,maybe not getting enough airflow. His temp has been pretty much perfect to the Whites Tree Frog care guide on here. I know it is not that humid in there, it's just very frustrating looking at that dial and seeing that it's 90% humidity in there!

Mentat - Thanks for the link on dusting. That is really helpful. I usually dust crickets and gutload/feed veg etc anyway. But i've never heard of reptiboost, i will see what equivalents we have in the uk (I seem to live in an area that is bit of a herp dryzone)

Funny i never ever would have chosen to have a tree frog, i much prefer ground dwelling phibs (looks like my pacman & bumblebee toads are not going to be arriving for a loooong time) but i'm actually pretty smitten with him. I can see why people like these bold TF's so much. He is chilling in his water dish each morning and then is very happy to eat until he is full, and will come to the front and take crickets from tongs or my fingers.

This is what he looked like this morning. I think there is already a clear improvement, now that he's at the correct temp, not being fried! and having a day/night cycle. He jumped out of the tank onto my bed ... :/ don't think i was giving him his crickets quick enough.

So, I have done as flybyferns suggested and moved his QT. Humidity Is now pretty much perfect so it must have been a problem with airflow.

Now I have a question about worming. Should I worm him as routine QT procedure. He poops really well abd I havent found anything that looks out of place ( or alive) . I looked on the first aid care sheet and saw that panacur can be used. I dont have panacur-c but I do have panacur granules for cats, kittens and puppies. 1.8 or 1.0 g sachets. 22.2% same as panacur-c. And the amount of fenbendazole per pack is the same too, so I presume if advise was to indeed worm this would be safe ?

Also - looking a bit chubbier today and hes been this sweet turquoise-jade colour for a few days running now, rather than dropping to an olivey colour each day. I presume good colour is a good sign?
