Came Home With These

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

I've kept fish for many years and most have been fairly easy to keep, but I've always had problems with Angel fish, which I just adore.
Some pets are so delicate and need their environment to be just right or they become stressed, sick and die. Every time I changed the water or cleaned the tank one or more of the Angel fish would die, so I finally stopped and only would clean or change a very small amount so not to stress them. Where as the other fish could survive anything, possibly even a nuclear war!!LOL
I am assuming, from what I've been reading from other owners of these frogs, that this is similar to my Angel fish problem. They seem to require very specific needs and do not cope with stress well and just seem to be very delicate creatures.
I think you'll need to be very aware how Bit is doing, what stresses him and what he likes and as you get to know him better you'll know how best to care for him. Sometimes, unfortunately, it's trial and error.
I am really hoping Bit will thrive and the longer he hangs in there the better the chances he will.
Keep us posted!

Yeah i had more success just thowing them in. I dusted the crickets and just threw them in. Bit seems to like to hunt rather then sit on a bowl edge. Soon as the cricket stops and stands still he just lets go from above and GULP....done for the week lol

Glad to hear Bit is eating and hunting is even better!

Cheri, I am happy your big female is doing well, but I know how scary that sleeping thing is. Baby would sleep endlessly and just slump over, it was making me neurotic!!! I would nudge him/her to wake up just to eat a few ff and then...slump over and nod off again(pic 4 when baby was really small, thin and sleeping). I really thought Baby was dead so many times and never expected him/her to actually survive and get better.
It was during this time I was constantly putting drops of the pedialyte/water soluting on him/her with a syringe dropper w/out the needle.
Finally, I just put the ff in the tank and left him/her alone this is when the turn-a-round happened, thank god!
Hope they all get better and I don't envy owners of these Ulu's, I would be a basket case!
The last few days it's been very warm and I've had Baby and Baby's new, deformed right leg , friend out on the deck on the potted tree. They both seem to love it and climb and jump then snuggle into a nice spot for several hours.Here are new pics of Baby(pic 2 & 3) and friend(1st) we are debating on a name, Mr. Hoppy, Hoppy, hop-a-long, peg leg...any suggestions?
