    Default Re: Scary experience...do frogs choke?

    Good Morning,

    from post # 6 If it's missing most of what it goes after , you might QT it to simplify its enclosure so it's a little easier for him?

    I would suggest doing this. Keep it simple. You could get w a/2.5 gallon aquarium ( which comes with a glass lid $15 dollars)---> PetCo or petsmart
    Rinse the tank w HOT tap water. Dry it. Spray the interior down with de- chlorinated water.
    Line the bottom with 3 or 4 folded white paper towels. Keep them flat
    Thoroughly dampen the towel with distilled or de-chlor water.
    Toss in some rinsed leaf litter; large leaves if you have them.
    A sprig of a plant from their enclosure and a hide if you have an extra.
    A very shallow lid of some kind to hold distilled water
    You could dampen some sphagnum moss? but not necessary.
    You might cover the tank with a dish towel / he will feel safer.

    Add Springtails and well dusted FF. ? order some Repashy?
    Then add the frog. Feed him twice a day.
    Dust the flies both times until he no longer misses.
    You don't want to put too may flies in at once ( add ....say 20) You don't want to stress him out
    If he finishes those you put in at a feeding add a few more.

    I tape one side of the glass down with clear plastic pacing tape to create a hinge.

    There is a show today in WP; you could get the repashy and the springtails there
    Welcome to ReptileExpo.com
    otherwise both can be ordered from NEHerp

    I would suggest purchasing new Rep-Cal Calcium w/ Vit D ( pink label ) and Repashy - alternate them

    That photo would be nice - a face/profile ---
    What is the temp in their enclosure?
    If you should find yourself at petco or petsmart--- purchase one or two ( 3$ each ) of these:
    Remove the suction cup- place one in the temp tank and stick the other into the soil of the main tank.

    I use them for a first stage froglet grow-out before froglets are moved to AGB substrate.
    You don't have to put a plant in- A sprig of plant and the leaf litter is more important.
    This one is for 4 little leuc froglets---but you get the idea
