I am still trying to figure out what happened. My son (age 7, so I was mostly taking care of it) had a green tree frog for about a month. Everything seemed fine and he was eating and active. Then one day, he comes out of his room crying that his frog is all dried up. It seems like he got burned under the heat lamp. I don't know if he got stuck, couldn't move, I don't know. He was dried up and warm. I feel awful! I just don't know how this happened.
I had the heat lamp on top of the cage like the instructions showed. Now we have a new frog and I'm afraid of it happening again. So, I'm using a gooseneck desk lamp so it won't be right on top.
