    Default Whites Tree Frogs

    Thank you we'll do the best we can, the poorly brown one & smaller green one seem to be best of mates, the poorly one keeps nudging the smaller green one & they seem to be getting comfort from each other. I don't know if that means they are both ill or whether the green one knows the brown one is ill or whether they don't know anything about health but like each loads. I'm in total love with them. My little boy loves them too, he is only 13months old but he was so excited. He pointed at the brown one and said "dada" and pulled a face as if to say "arrrrr bless it" my son has a close relationship to our elderly ferrets, the dog and the geckos, he is so gentle with them, well sometimes he gets a bit much for the dog. My wife knew I'd get attached to them strait away and has admitted she was concerned about us getting an ill one because things affect me to easily. With animals anyway.

    Can frogs develop Torticollis/Vestibular disease aka "Wry neck"...? It can be caused by a parasitic infection...

    Hello,

    I've been to the vet, the 2 Green ones have been given a clean bill of health, the brown (poorly) one, the vet doesn't know what the matter is, he couldn't do an X-Ray (as i hadn't asked over the phone for one so he didn't have it prepared - right OK!) I'm going back tomorrow to do one. He thinks its an infection and took some tests which i'll find out this week.

    The brown one has started to turn green, The vet thinks this is a very good sign that his home and diet so far is okay. The problem is as i explained to the vet he ate well on the Saturday but seemed to regurgitate the locust the next day. He/She hasn't eaten since. The Green ones are eating small crickets 3 times a day.

    I've been watching the poorly one almost constantly and he travels quite well but doesn't like getting in the water as he spins around & around, basically thrashing... The smaller green one is so sweet towards him/her, they have a strong bond. The bigger green one seems to prefer his own company.

    I would admit the poorly one doesn't seem to be very happy (mind wise) and hasn't produced waste. The other 2 have produced 2 poos each.

    I have been up late trying to save my elderly ferret, my ferret sadly died in terrifying circumstances (screaming seizures! i didn't know what they were until 1am Sunday morning) he died 4am Monday morning. Anyway that's helped me have more time watching the frogs at strange times of the day/night and they are brilliantly active, they seem to be very happy.

    Funnily enough when the screaming woke me up i went running thinking it was the frogs and what i had been warned about on here - the noise!! I was proper cursing them until i realised what it actually was.
