    Me too. I've never even seen one in person. In the meantime, where are you keeping the humidity at?

    These guys require low humidity so I've been spraying a little bit every couple days and water the plants that are in tank

    I did some checking. At first I thought humidity might be the problem, since most of the frogs in the genus phyllomedusu seem to require higher humidity, but after looking up phyllomedusa Hypochondrilias specifically, I found that you were right. Josh's Frogs has an article on care for them noting a "60% Max" humidity with 30-40% being comfortable, unlike phyllomedusa tomopturna, for example.
    I thought I was on to something, but unfortunately I'm still stumped.
    The only other thing I can think of right now is that it may be another frog in the genus, rather than phyllomedusa Hypochondrilias. I suppose certainty on that depends on the reliability of whoever you bought the frogs from.
    I wish I could be of more help. Hopefully it's just stress and they calm down and start eating.

    Hi, unfortunately I don't own any of these frogs but if your really worried for them try to PM a member named Diver. She has lots of experience with the Phyllomedusa species or even the founder John.

  5. This member thanks monster for this post:

    That's a really good idea. I should have thought of that lol
    The breeder's comments make me wonder if you have Hypochondrilias or another Phyllomedusa species. Since reading up on them I've read the various species are often confused.

    I'm like 99% positive on Hypo. It's really not that hard to tell honestly
