Came Home With These

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

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

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?

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

One of our members is a vet in the UK.

I have 3 of these frogs and my males rarely eat, maybe 1 small/medium locust a week, the female however is very greedy and eats what she can get including the boys left overs! Have you tried putting them in seperate simple quarantine style tanks? (paper towel floor, aquarium backing on the outside, 1 fake branch, 1 fake leaf and a small water dish? Try them in that and put 1 or 2 crickets in and see if they go for them.

Thanks androo but i think we have progress.

So weekly update guys pretty much what androo was saying moved them into a tiny 30x30x45cm tank which they lived in at the petstore, no heatmat, one large bit of monapi wood that goes to the top of tank, used just soil no moss this time, large water bowl. Put a small brom pup and a spider plant off cut to add some green to the tank and they seem so much better in this tank??

They seem to wake up about 2 hours earlier and are still awake when we get up at 7am which was rare before.
Have put 6-7 small dusted crickets in the tank and can only see 2 left

with a bit of luck we onto a winner will report back
