    Mine are doing nicely in our tiny house. To update everything, the mite treatment is working on my fence lizard, the patches are clearing up, and he knows that I'm helping him, so not much protest anymore

    Mine are doing good but I had to bring my baby Ornate into the vet on Friday for his eye. He kept blinking it when he was trying to sleep and it kept shutting more then its supposed to. I cleaned out with some distilled and it went back to normal and he stopped blinking but when I checked on him later it was the same, so being a eye I didn't want to play around and brought him to the vet. So she checked everything and there was no real signs of infection but to be on the safe side she sent me home with some Ciloxan 0.3% for a bacteria infection just incase it was the start of something and I caught it early. Was told to apply for 7 days 2xs a day and it hasn't happened since. There was no cloudy eye, no pink or red under the eyelids top or bottom, no discharge and she did a flush with some distilled water and looked under a big magnifying glass and there was no signs of trauma or scratches on or around the eye. And last she looked in his mouth under his eye because when a frog blinks while swallowing he is using the eyeballs to help push the food item down, so wanted to make sure nothing was pokeing the eye from the inside and there was nothing. Besides that he is doing great, hes doubled in size the last month and this guy eats like a champ. Ate from the tongs the first night home when I got him and even ate the other night after that whole ordeal at the vet and a car ride.
    My 8 month old albino Cranwelli Groot needs a new name because he is 100% a she. She is 4 1/2 inches and is as cranky as ever. This frog has a serious attitude problem.
    And last but not least the fire belly crew Larry, Curly, Moe and Chubs are doing great. Hope everyone has had a great summer!!

    my ridiculous amount of mouths to feed are chugging right along. i've had losses here and there, including my first pumi froglet, but things happen. the leucs are happy in their new home, and others are starting to get mods and upgrades on their homes.

    and haven't you been working on that red eye tank for like, a year? LOL

    Xavier, I'm glad to hear the mites are clearing up. I've heard they are no good when it comes to reptiles

    Cory, great job taking care of that eye! I'm glad he's doing better! I have had a few boys with girly frog names (Fortuna, Silvermist, and Willow) because I didn't sex them properly, it happens

    Bill - Well, yes...but in my defense... the first one arrived shattered, the second one arrived with a broken door, and so the third one I've only had for about 5 or 6 months. Then I was stumped on what to do with it, now I have ideas and it's too nice out to sit inside and do that. I did get the background all cut and placed but am still debating between a cycled false bottom water area (less water changes ) or just a daily cleaned water bowl. I have to get it finished though because I need to order plants before we're midwinter again. Sorry you lost the little pumi I've had to come to acceptance that some things happen, especially when you're dealing with an animal that reproduces in mass amounts for a reason.
