    Default Re: Found injured Grey tree frog, need help with nursing him back to health

    The advice already given is very helpful, but I can add a few more helpful tips. To have any chance of survival, the frog needs to have perfect conditions, as any sort of stress right now could be the final, fatal blow. As of now, provide a ten gallon tall tank with damp, paper towels, multiple hides, both at the bottom and top. Put a few pieces of décor such as fake ferns, vines, and blunt, non-sharp, cleaned sticks. Have a soaking dish that doesn't take much effort to climb out of, and make sure that any foods you give it are soft and easy to digest. Some good foods for him/her right now are probably Canadian night-crawlers, (Which should be part of the staple diet once it heals) wax-worms, horn-worms, and "calci-worms."

    Go ahead and search for an exotic animal vet, and in the meantime, try some sugar water baths as described by these helpful articles: http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatre.../#.Vxk81LnmrIU http://www.frogforum.net/showthread.php?t=33171 http://www.pollywogsworldoffrogs.com...ntestinal.html And a few more helpful articles to help you get started: http://www.frogforum.net/content.php...e-and-Breeding http://www.repticzone.com/caresheets/296.html http://www.amphibiancare.com/frogs/c...ytreefrog.html http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/foods.shtml http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/worms2.shtml And sadly, if he/she does not thrive, you'll need this article as well: http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/euthanasia.shtml I hope he/she survives, and lives a long life!
