Giant Waxy Monkey Frog help.

They look perfectly happy and healthy to me and yep, the pic of the one on your hand is a boy
they don't look too skin either
do they poop? You need to send it to do a fecal test and treat them after.

Also, you could make/buy an arboreal water dish

They look fine. I have had my 4 for a year now and had a rough start with them also, it took 4 months before they settled in and acted normal. They wouldn't eat on their own I had to force feed then they wouldn't poop, I had to also give electrolyte baths, at least yours don't have any wounds, mine were covered in them so on top of everything I had to treat those as well. They aren't too skinny, they do look thinner when they move around, I have one female that looks skinny but eats the same as the other female that looks really fat, they both move around the same amount so I guess some can be slimmer than others. I also have a male who is the smallest length wise but he is really fat and you would think he was a gravid female!(he's definitely not as he has called before) about the humidity issue... you don't have to worry about them being too dry, I think I mentioned it in a PM to you, I don't mist mine hardly ever, They have 2 x 75w heat lamps (exo terra swamp glo) and 1 x 35W Sun glo exo terra spot light the perches are about 12 inches below these bulbs. I also have a heat cable running underneath the tank as well. It gets about 28-32 degrees C in there and would be dry about 30-40%. I have read a lot that links higher humidity to health issues in these frogs. Because your enclosure is very tall you should try and incorporate a pool of water of some sort in the middle section of the tank like it was suggested. Don't go over board on these electrolyte baths either, everytime you handle these guys their stress levels go up and it will take them even longer to settle in. I covered the sides and front of the tank too for a month or so so they couldn't see out to see if it helped them feel more secure I think it may have helped but I can't say for sure, so maybe try that and leave them to it.

Thanks for the input guys, I'm glad you think they look healthy. My concern for them stems from the death of the third member of the group a week after I got them and their behaviour (not moving, not eating, not pooping, not hydrating). Well, they have both found a water bowl at least once or twice each now, so that last point may be improving.
I do have two water bowls in there, one is on the floor and the other is half way up (about a meter off the ground on the tree trunk). The male has located the floor bowl twice now and the female the higher one once so this is progress.
Since my last update two days ago, the male has crawled out of the water bowl and has stayed motionless on the floor. A tree frog on the ground is worrying to me.

Well sadly the cctv died so it's back in the dark again regarding activity (new one on the way). They're both alive and well although they still alternate between looking emaciated and in the case of this one who's been in or around the upper water bowl for 5 days now, er not:





Found a poop in that water bowl this morning and another one here:



Guess they must be eating then!

Well I wasn't sure if the excessive plumpness of the frog in the photo above was a good thing or a bad thing. For many days now he's been sitting in or around one of the water bowls, usually in the water. Went in this morning and he was awake and moving on the edge of the bowl. Two hours later he's face down in it dead







I thought we'd turned a corner with these guys, evidence of poop and therefore eating as well as hydrating themselves, thought they were going to be fine despite the complete lack of activity. Back to feeling at a complete loss again now.

Any thoughts at all anyone?

To me, it feels like a parasite infection, but I could be wrong
