Came Home With These

[Chaya]

have sent you a pm

their about 3-4cm each.

getting a little worried as they have not eaten for days i have put 4 crickets in the glass tub and left them in over night approx 12 hours and no ones eating. The bigger one had 1 cricket on sat night. Are they just stressed with the move or is it the glass bowl you think?

I dont understand they dont hide and even some over for kiss if you put face near the glass

Sounds like they are full grown. The girl may get a little larger.

The first thing i would say is they look like they were fed well in the pet store, so you may have to give them a day or two extra to relax and digest

I was worried your next post would say they weren't eating x.x

Keep a close eye on them. Lepto's seem to get stressed really easy, based off what I and other Ulu owners have noticed, and can sometimes die from it . Keep an eye on the crickets and the weight of your two frogs. If the bones in their backs start to stick out too far you may have to hand feed them but use that ONLY as a last resort..and i mean LAST cause it can stress them out more.

My Ulu's had to be hand fed (excluding the male) for about a month... we THINK they are eating because the crickets are disappearing from the bowl...but it could just be that somehow the crickets are getting out. So we are keeping a good eye on them.

The Ulu's are really sociable to me they seem to enjoy attention and as soon as they see you are more than happy to try get your attention

They are gorgeous frogs... when they stare at you with their huge round eyes, its just amazing. Keep the photos coming when you get more

And here is another care sheet i found

Tanzanian spotted big eye frog Leptopelis uluguruensis

Thanks again. What i found odd is i have just come in from work and both Rib "N" Bit (thats right the wife called them rib and bit lol) hurled them selfs to the my side of the tank and give a big blink like "hi dad"??

The store said they were fed on friday so Rib (female) had 1 criket sunday night and Bit (male) has just eaten 1 we think as we are a criket missing

Man i going to get some darts instead less stresss i think

How are they getting on today Al? I saw you posted over on dendroboard today. Good luck if you decide to get those leucs.

No change in them im sorry to say. they have had live food in there for 48 hrs and im missing 1 cricket so have taken the bowl out for now. very confused they dont hide in the tank they sleep all day in a very quiet room, they seem very interactive when they awake but wont eat


Off now to buy another 45x45x60 tank for my 2.1 leucs

they look quite happy. And yes, i have come to discover with ulu's that the brighter colors normaly happen because they are more active and happy . They still look of a good weight so dont fear...

They seem to be quite content in their new house!

Al -

Keep the updates coming. I wish you the best of luck with the feeding. They look like wonderful additions to have to the home - and certainly a great "welcome home dad" addition ; )

OK guys im panicing here. The female who has not eaten since sat has burried herself in moss for the last 35 odd hours came out and stuck to the glass shes FAT! and inside her in her midsection i can see approx 6 white balls no bigger then say a 6mm BB gun pellet. Looks like shes pregnant then ? or some sort of common froggie diease? I am so not the right person for this after a week of ownership
