    Default Dead amazonica

    I lost one of my adult male R.amazonicas today. My lucky-to-still-be-my-girlfriend left the air conditioner in my dart frog room on high and the enclosure heater couldn't keep up. This is the one that called all the time, I'm gonna miss hearing that.

    Sorry to hear of your loss, Paul. It's sad when you no longer can hear the trill of the frog

    I am so sorry, Paul. I hope you're okay and that the rest of your frogs are not too traumatized by the cold air. Hugs...

    Thanks everyone, hopefully the rest will be ok. Sometimes darts don't recover after being chilled. Fingers crossed.

    How are the rest of the darts, Paul? I hope they have recovered-or in the process of making a full recovery. I didn't realize this species was so tiny. Amazing how something so small can fill such a big place in your heart. All the best to the others...

    The rest are a little larger and can probably take the cool temps a little better. When we move next month I will have better control of temps. These guys attatch to your heart because they are so tiny when they are froglets that everyday seems like a touch and go situation and they are very hard to find in a 75g fully planted enclosure. Plus the cost, each one costs over $100.00 so it takes time to save up and obsess over them. I have had mine for over a year now so I think it hurts more for John to sell his imitators that he loved so much to get the new ones and then lose one. It all just sucks to have any frog die.
