Came Home With These

[Chaya]

oh i missed a photo... this is what happens AFTER you shove a worm in her mouth:



she jumped out of my boyfriends hands and landed on his foot! lol...and that is why you keep a bowl of frog safe water to rinse them lol

[John]

She's a lovely frog .

[Chaya]

thanks.

How are your two doing?

[BigBruiserAl]

Hmm well today i took the lights out to use in the dartfrog tank, so they have had natural light and dark cycle instead of the repti glow 2.0 and 5.0

3 crickets are MIA and i cant find them could it be.......

Also while the mrs and me watching tv we both looked at each other...did you hear that "A croak from he tank"

Dart set up finished

[Chaya]

the dart tank looks great.

The cool thing about ulu's is they almost dont croak...its sorta a click lol...but mine have been clicking a little recently.

[BigBruiserAl]

agh cleaned the tank today a bit found 4 live crickets in there so they have not eating as 1st thought... on a slighly sad ote how long before the little guys starve to death?

comeing up to 3 weeks now they must have settled by now!

[Chaya]

Al, Take a few photos so we can at least see the weight on them. Also touch their sides slightly to make sure they arnt filled with air/water sometimes that makes them look a little fatter... just keep a good eye on them and if they get too skinny/non active in ur opinion it may be time to feed them

[BigBruiserAl]

Heres some pics while they were sleeping

[Chaya]

they are definitely skinnier than when you first got them. They dont seem too bad yet so keep trying the crickets and keep a close eye on them

[BigBruiserAl]

Thanks jess, i moved down to small crickets in case the med were to big for them. I just leave the bowl in he tank now with crickets in just in case

[Chaya]

thats what i have been trying recently too... tonight is feeding night for mine again...

I am so sorry your little frogs are doing the same thing. Have you had any parasite testing done on them since you got them?

No finding it hard in the uk to find help on this, plus as they were happy and healthy in the petstore for the 4 months i assume it someting i done

Those are really pretty frogs, do you know what type they are? I'm sorry they're not feeling well. Have you been using tap water at all with them?

Leptopelis ulugurensis, yes have been using tap water that has stood for 48hrs with reptisafe added aswell,The water where i live is claimed to be among the best in the uk. The store had them for 4 months in a smallest exo terre there now in the biggest one, however 3 weeks should have been enough for them to adjust

[BigBruiserAl]

Hmm just reading that Anthurium andraeanum,or Flamingo lily are toxic...do you think that could be the problem. I got because it was in the safe section of frog plants from another website?

[BigBruiserAl]

Update for those interested, have now tried crickets, locusts and wax worms and these guys are not eating. The pet shop gave me a FREE exo terra that they were housed in the store and told me to put them in see if the feel more secure as my big exo maybe the problem. Great service that, going set the tank up this week and put them in see if we have a change

[Chaya]

wow! thats a great petstore! I doubt the anthirium is annoying them, many frog enthusiasts use it. I dont yet i only have pothos, zebra plant and heart leaf in with mine... along with a waterfall. However i hope switching them to the petstore home helps. If not you are getting pretty close to the skinny frog phase. Keep me updated! i want to try help as much as i can and i enjoy hearing from you to know how they are doing...mine are still being handfed weekly

Not eating and thinning out, I hate to say it, but its time to see the vet. As nice as it was for the store to give you an Exo-terra, I don't think it will make a bit of difference. There is something medically wrong. Maybe they have an infection or a parasite bloom. Maybe the temperature or the humidity is off target. I don't think tank size has anything to do with it.

Thanks Kurt i have been talking to pretty much every one i can who owns these frogs and i ticked all the box's with temp, humidity tank furniture etc.
Whats confusing is they love a splash in their water bowl and seem friendly and active they just dont eat. Finding a vet in the UK that will see a frog is going to be a tall order
