I have baby grays! What should I do next?

I'm not sure if springtails can climb straight up glass, but they can definitely go up the silicone on the corners. They usually want to stay down in the moist substrate though.

A cloth cover can work to help keep tiny things in, I've used panty hose stretched over the top for the same purpose.

You should also avoid spraying water directly onto the frogs. Now dont miss read that and say "How can i miss him completely" Its ok to get over spray on them and dont worry if you do occasionally spray them, but it stresses them out when you target them with the water. Don't believe me, try it, most froglets and adult frogs will move to get out of the spray.

Interesting, I've never had a flight reaction from a fine mist. I've often had frogs react to the motion and try to eat the mist, but never flight. Still, I think we're all in agreement about not hosing down the froglets, and rather let them regulate their own water intake by moving to the wet or dry areas of the tank.

Yup, my adult American Green Tree-frogs hate being misted, every time I mist them, they wing it to the other side of their enclosure

Of my greys, I have 2 that take cover when I'm misting, the other that tries to eat it!

OK guys, misting aside I have a new issue. I have six babies climbed out if the water and were transferred. Tonight I found one who appears to be full of air... He floats on his side and has trouble crawling out swimming? I don't want him to suffocate, or drown... He doesn't look well... He also assists to have bleeding near his rear legs internally. Does he have a chance of pulling through?

i personally don't think he'll make it. I'm sorry, sometimes nature is cruel.

[teslas intern]

I think he made it... Or else somebody ate him and another frog transformed... One of the baby frogs did die though, I guess it would be unusual for "wild caught" tads to all make it with no issues...

Hmm.. weird. i am sorry you lost one or two. yes it happens a lot in nature.
