White's Tree Frog sick behavior? Pics*

[SamanthaFox]

I agree with getting that heat up there, 77-85F is good for daytime and 72-75F at night is fine (they can handle a wide range of temps but needs to be consistent). Humidity should be right around 50%+/- The tank is pretty sparse, I'd definitely give much more in the way of plants and spaces to hide, that and I'd switch to a different substrate. You might have to look into getting a taller tank and locating it in a quieter part of the house. Do you keep the lights on a 12 hrs on 12 hrs off cycle?

I'm thinking you definitely have a male (check for nuptial pads at the base of his thumbs). At two years of age your frogs should be fully grown and mature, it could be he's displaying these behaviors because he's of breeding age and stressed. I have a male whose not very interested in food at the moment either, though there seems to be nothing wrong with him. He has a female companion but the two don't seem interested in each other at all from a breeding perspective, even though they are both apparently at a stage of breeding readiness. The female keeps oogling a small male in the tank next door and they both seem to want to get in with each other, so who knows! O_o

He looks baggy on his sides too, like he's lacking some chow... do you know when the last time is you saw him eat actually? Or poop? Or shed? You need to be dusting their feeders once a week with a good Cal/Vit D3 supplement and once a week with a multi vitamin powder, even if you gut load the crickets.

As for red leg... it doesn't look like broken capillaries, but there is quite a bit of pink, could be from all the activity though. Best thing is to check with a vet like you're doing. I hope the vet has some good news for you!

HI there Thumper---I was ironically watching your youtube videos last night. I have to say, I loved hearing your enthusiasm when you talk to your froggies. It's so cute! It was oddly comforting to watch those last night. BTW--what happened to your sHEila?

I took Nicodemus to the herp vet last friday. I had researched this dr and am glad we went. She is definitely a lover of frogs! She has her own organization called Geo herps: https://www.facebook.com/GeoHerps
Anyway, she said he looked pretty red, but no broken blood vessels. She thinks he did get some kind of infection, but that the outlook was good since he was so alert and even angry when she was examining him (croaked, throat puffed up and he peed!). So she gave me an all-encompassing antibiotic but said injections are better SO she gave him his first shot in the belly, my husband and I did the second one (was difficult) and I have been taking him back to the vet every other day for them to do the injections for free since I feel like I am hurting him while trying to keep him still. He has 4 more to go.

She also said he looks dehydrated so she gave me an electrolyte powder to dissolve in distilled water and soak him in twice a day. I have been doing it once a day (very busy) but I leave the solution in his cage so he self-treats. We have put in a few dusted crickets but he only ate one once. The are still 3 roaming around in there. I am concerned because his edema seems worse---here are some pics:



ALso here is the new tank that the other frog is in now...can't wait to put my Nico back with his pal Peenuhlope..which is most likely a boy I think too haha.

sorry if it's rotating...don't know why that is.
Anyway, will update again soon. BTW, what are some good ways to up the humidity? Foggers? sphagnum moss?
