Quarantine opinions?
They sure do. That's why the tree frog forum is filled with posts that normally have tag lines like "need help ASAP, my frog is dying" or "something is wrong with me frog!" Sadly, most of those cases would have been prevented with a proper quarantine period. You have the added challenge of having existing frogs that a new specimen can infect, if there are any unknown medical issues and they are added in early.

Re: Quarantine opinions?
I think it's not excessive to QT for at least 90 days after some of the tales I've heard... I read a post on FB from a guy who quarantined a female WTF for less than 30 days before adding her to his collection, and he wound up losing ALL the WTFs he'd had for 7 years due to the female being the host of some unknown parasites!Also another really good reason to test a frog before adding it to an established collection.
Mom to these fine frogs!
