Came Home With These

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

[Chaya]

go figure a dart is easier than these! these were my third specieas (after bb toads and green tree frogs lol) definitely not easy... beautiful and their eyes are magnificent... but hard lol

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

Thanks was already done but you are right it creates a secure enviroment feeling for them

Not bad thanks jes, yeah hes ok told him oggie went back home he seemed ok with that, he still pretty young so a quick wave of a choclate bar and all was well for him

Just trying to find someone to take bit off me and care for him. he eats 1 cricket a week if im lucky and i cant keep buying a whole box only to use 3 or 4

I am so sorry for both of you. I hope your babies are going to be ok. I don't know anything about these frogs, but I wish I did so I could help. Baby actually perked up after Tiny died, go figure, maybe he/she wanted to be alone. He/she actually is looking thinner again(Baby is smaller than my pincky nail and 1/2 the width), but is much more active and alert, but not eating much at all either..Don't these frogs understand how much we care and are trying to help!! If they knew iam sure they would feel much better. I am really pulling for you guys ( al & Jess) and hope everything works out for the best.

[Chaya]

thanks Charlamanda .

Al if i lived anywhere near you i would come get him and keep him with my three... i must have fixed something as the past few days my little boy has been clicking! I am still keeping a close eye on mine but i have stopped the forcefeeding...if they pass then it should be on their own accord not me forcing them to live. I hope your frog starts eating more

[charlamanda]

I've been giving this some thought... I cut out beautiful landscape pics from a calender and taped them to Baby's tank leaving only a small section open, I then put him in my window so he has the effect of being outside. But the most important thing I did that seemed to make the most difference is...I added lots of fruit flies to his tank and have completely left him alone, I check on him/her all the time, but I don't let Baby see me and I don't touch or disturb him/her or the tank. This seemed to be the turning point in his/her recovery. Baby has been more active and alert and eats whenever, because the Babes is not actively hunting I have lots of fruit flies in the tank with him and add more as needed, so when he/she is sitting there he/she gobbles them up as they pass by. Maybe they need to be left alone except to eat, to reduce stress, we have a tendency, I do anyway, to fuss more over a pet thats ill and inadvertantly add more stress with the added attention. Just a thought and it really seemed to make a big difference with my itsy bitsy gray tree froglet. Hope this helps.

[Chaya]

yeah o am leaving my big eyes alone as much as possible too

[BigBruiserAl]

Hmm never thought of adding FF as food, will put 20 or so in tonight see what happens, i have looked in and there a dead cricket in there but it covered in springtails theres 1,000 of them wonder id hes been picking at them as well

[Chaya]

they might be a little small for ulu's lol...i used to feed them to my bb toads... you could try getting the roaches that everyone seems to like using

[charlamanda]

How is Bit, Al? Jess how's your guy doing? I keep checking this thread to see if everything is OK.
I have an update about Baby, I had to clean the tank because all the FF were dead, anyway Baby has grown longer only giving the appearance of being thinner, thank god. While I cleaned the tank I put him/her on a potted plant on the deck, if it's nice out(it was close to 80'), and Baby climbed the plant hopped on the edge of the pot and then jumped out onto a nearby vine and was climbing up. He/she is so much more active and after cleaning his/her tank and adding more FF began to hunt them. Baby used to slump over and nod off 24hrs a day and I'd have to nudge him/her to wake up to just to eat. Something finally worked or ,I think, by leaving him/her alone got used to the tank and new surroundings. I haven't had Baby for very long, I took him/her in around August 25th, give or take a day. At first Baby stayed dark green-black and only recently has been a nice light green. I hope this means he's going to be ok.
Hope all is getting better with you,too.

I am still uneventful...still crossing my fingers that they are eating...but the boy seems to call almost nightly now...which is weird since its cooling down a little. The bigger girl is somewhat active at night...not too sure about the other girl. My fiancee decided to switch the light from a red to a black...because it looks cool lol... we shall see... i accidently forgot to turn their daytime lights on today so they are having a solar eclipse! opps!

But mine seem ok now...

Glad to hear your little froggie is doing better!

How are yours doing Al? havnt heard from you lately

Chaya,
Do they glow with the black light?? I know some frogs , bugs ,etc. do. Have you ever seen a scorpion in a black light? It's wild!
Yeah Al, How's your boy doing??

[Chaya]

nah they dont really glow...their yellow spots are a little brighter tho

[BigBruiserAl]

Hi sorry for non reply been in hospital myself, but fit and well again. well bit just seems to be hnaging in there no worse but no better, not sure what else to try really

[charlamanda]

Might be out of your hands at this point. You've done all you can and it may up to Bit now to get better. I truely hope he gets better.
How are you doing? I hope your doing well and stay that way after your hopital stay. You have to be healthy to care for both your boys.
I'm on disability now for 6 years, I hate it, I have good days and bad. Some days it's difficult to care for my pets and I feel so guilty, but I see multiple Dr's on a regular basis and take about 25 pills a day, it helps to, at the very least, keep my out of the hospital.
Keep us posted!

[BigBruiserAl]

Oh im fine 4 different virus hit me all on the same day...which doc said was rare but took the wind out of me...be fighting fight in a day or so. Froggie wise yeah like jes said if their time is up its up, ill let them go in peace. I must say i have 7 other frogs and they are no bother at all....these 2 tree's are/were very difficult but wonder why
