Whites tree frog. Problem?

[MACalentino]

Hello every one i am new to this website and came here seeking help on an issue. One of my whites tree frogs, a female around the age of 4, has developed white cloudy gunk in the corners of her eyes and I was wondering what this is and if it will cause problems for her or the other two frogs living in the terrarium with her. Please respond thanks.

I haven't heard of this before. It could be an incomplete shedding in which case it would be harmless, it could be some kind of eye infection, or it could be the beginnings of a cataract. I am not an expert.

Maybe you should try putting her in quarantine so you can keep an eye on how she's moving, whether she's eating enough and so on. If she's slower, not climbing, or not hungry an infection of some sort seems most likely.

She is eating normal and is agressive as the other two in there with her. And she is as active as ever.

Hi MACalentino!

Does it appear to be white pockets of white fluid in the corners of her eyes? Sort of like little pockets between the eye itself and they eyelid?

If so, it is a Vitamin A deficiency. How old is your bottle of calcium/vitamin supplement that you dust your crickets with? Vitamin A goes off quite quickly so it is important to replace your bottle every 3 or so months, even if you haven't used it all.
