    Default Hi everyone. New here and new frog mom

    Hey, there are some other PCF owners here I think. Welcome. Also, can you clarify "not feeling well"? Was it eating? Maybe a picture would help people more experienced than I am figure out what's going on.

    He was very lethargic which he still is a little and not eating. I seperated them and put Freddy in a seperate clean enclosure with spring water and he started climbing all over. He also was opening and closing his mouth but he hasn't done that at all today

    Welcome! Sounds to be like typical shedding behavior, nothing to worry about but quite shocking when you see it for the first time! Can you post pics of your froggies? From the looks of your profile pic you do indeed have PCFs, my first froggy loves!

    How often has he refused food? If it's just a day or two it might be normal shedding, if more there may be a problem. I think. (Not an expert.)

    Here's a care sheet for these guys... I still tend to call them Pacific tree frogs, even though it is not "politically correct" frog terminology, that's what my grandpa called them waaaay back when so I'm set in my ways, lol

    Beautiful frogs!

    I agree with irThumper, it sounds like shedding. Mine act the same way during a shedding phase.
    As far as feeding goes, I use fruit flies, crickets, and dubia roaches.

    Freddy is all better and eating well although Mr.Kermit eats most. I am thinking about seperating them but do they do well alone?
