    Glad you found the Repalyte; if similar to Pedialyte it should not hurt the frogs. Melafix is natural antibiotic; so hopefully it's good for them. I've used it for couple weeks with no negative issues and discontinued use when problem resolved.

    I'm not a fan of force feeding; but if frogs are emaciated, you might need to do so. Issue is their skin is "burned" and holding to force feed a struggling frog might cause more skin damage. You will have to make that determination based on frog appearance. If it comes to that, recommend try to find Fluker's Reptaboost or similar product, and use it according to bottle directions for worse case scenario. If any of the frogs start eating after Repalyte treatment; dust the food for a week in Reptaboost; then continue with normal CA/D3 and multivitamin supplements. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Hi all sad update pilly lad died yesterday and fat s#$t looks like he wont make it through the night im continuing bathing electrolyte treatment but I guess it was all a bit much for them argo still looks quite ill although I did finally get them all to take some herp boost the other night I think riddick is gonna be ok he is slowly becoming more active and only has minor redness to his belly I can only assume he didnt get exposed to the solution as much as the others im so sad for my imminent loss I hate seeing them suffer can anyone tell me if putting a frog in the fridge or freezer is a humane way of euthanasing them? I dont have the heart to dong him on the head merp
