    Default Diarrhoea?

    I've just come home from work and spotted this in my tank! Definitely the first time since I've owned my white's tree frogs (only had them since April 2nd), anyone know the likely cause? Conditions are all fine, the tank was fully cleaned 4 days ago. One of my frogs recently showed odd behaviour (http://www.frogforum.net/showthread.php?t=36263) but he's been back to his old self the past few days. Any help is appreciated as I'm a first time owner!

    It is most likely parasites. Most vets can test their stool for parasites but not all will prescribe medication. So it is probably best to find an exotic vet.

    I was worried it might be that! I've got 2 vets that have told me they'll see my frogs if ever needs be. I just don't know which frog it is yet 😶

    As above, could be parasites. It's best give a vet some feces so to get it checked. I have found even the normal ones will get in contact with specialists then proscribe treatment. Quarantine the animal and put it on moist paper towels and clean regularly through treatment, using reptile/amphibian safe disinfectent. Be sure to provide a basking spot of 85F. Just noticed your comment... probably best to treat both frogs.

    If they are housed together, then you're safest bet is to treat them both. The one has more than likely passed it to the other at this point.
