    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

    Well it hasn't been eliminated I guess so next thing to look at. The first poops I found recently and actually took it as a sign that things were well so didn't them examined, I'll wait for another from the last remaining frog and get it checked out. Thanks!

    Just checked on the last remaining frog and saw this:







    Not sure if it's coming from the cloaca or through the skin, but this is the first obvious sign that something is definitely wrong. Anyone seen this before? Any clue as to what might be killing these guys?

    Still thinking parasite, I would find an exotic vet and get its stool checked for parasites

    Yeah, poop has always been like gold dust the whole time I've had them. Saw my first two about a week ago, kicking myself for not getting them checked out but the frogs seemed perfectly healthy by then. Damn it! I'll give the vet a call in the morning and see what he makes of it.
