Came Home With These

Oh no....I am so sorry. I didn't finish reading through when I got to the end and read what happened. I've had 2 very very small Gray Tree froglets that haven't been doing well..Tiny and Baby. Tiny died a few days ago and Baby is barely holding on. I can understand how upsetting it is trying to help them and not having the knowledge and experience to help. I kept Tiny for a few days in a small container to make sure he/she was dead. When I found Baby in a bucket of water he/she was floating and no movement or other signs of life, but when I finally scooped it up he/she was alive and it's been a rollercoaster ride since.

hes still asleep, i really hope frogs cant die of a broken heart....my 3 year old just asked daddy where is froggie gone...um err

thats gonna be a hard convo with your 3 year old... So far mine are holding on. I havnt hand fed them in about 3 weeks but i am putting crickets in their cage...and they do seem to move around at night... problem is the way ulu's sleep its sometimes hard to see if they are really skinny...i think today i might take a look.

I dont know if they can die of a broken heart...i know my bb toad did... one died and then the other refused to eat that was sad...

Crossing my fingers for your other little one.

Thanks jess, im womdering if to put him in a spare plastic tank with just some paper towel so can keep on eye on him just in case the tank is infected or just leave him be

[Chaya]

dont know. That may stress him out... especially if all the sides are clear and he doesnt feel safe/have trees/hiding spots... i wish someone would put in their 5 cents too as i am somewhat of a new frog keeper too... this variety is definitely not easy!

Indeed if pople are reading this for reasearch these are not beginer friendly IMHO. I have another 2 tanks of dart frogs and they are a joy to look after

some frogs like to have the sides of their tank covered so they feel more secure. you could try to tape black paper to the outside of the tank on three of the sides. i hope this helps
