Some great news for the Tree Frogs of the Frog Forests...

While the Dumpy Family is being quarantined and the Gray Army looks to rebound from their last go with the parasites we have a lot to cover. There is going to be a shocker at the end of this thread that will hopefully be interesting to you and doesn't effect the health of these frogs in any way.


So as we left off a while ago the Dumpy Family is doing well and they get their medicine tomorrow for the supposed final round of dewormer. They haven't been happy in quarantine protocol, but who is? I have been working to put solid weight on them as of the past two months. The Dumpy Family is doing well and have been eating regularly many times a week. I think we will have a video coming out that these guys will be featured in. We are going to have to wait to get fecal samples and get the results back sometime hopefully in January. The new build for the Dumpy Family is set to start in March.

As for the Gray Army they have gained the most weight that any animals have over a short period of time. Melania the tree frog who we thought would die now weighs the most and is the key figure of the Gray Army. She is truly an amazing animal. Along with her success comes a surprise. Meredith is still heavy and in great shape. I said before it's very hard to have animals in the same tank that are dominant, but gray tree frogs seem to be able to make it work. Both Melania and Meredith are on top. It's very interesting to watch but they snuggle up under the light together, and they do not seem to try to starve one another. I think with an even larger enclosure they will be even more personable. So Bane may get more active. He has slowed down I believe because he is unhappy and he looks like he misses the 125 gallon he once live Inside. Bane will hopefully get his new home (the 67 gallon exo terra) and once the parasites are gone he can enjoy his life back in a bioactive enclosure. But for now we all wait. The Gray Army all has gained immense weight since being dewormed.
Dante is 12g
Bane is 20g
Meredith is 25g
Melania is 26g

This weight for the three out of four is really good. 20g is a good weight for a gray tree frog. Dante is much smaller then everyone else and he is younger, so if he can get to 15 it would be great. In one month Melania gained 6g which is very impressive.

As we close this update with patience, optimism, and weight gain we also have one more announcement.

After meeting with my crew and my team we have decided how we are going to tell the stories of these animals lives. As I am working with and focusing on the Pennsylvania woodlands and forests we thought it would be best to group animals together that were native, and to group the non-native animals together for many reasons. The Dumpy Family will retain the story of the Frog Forests. The Gray Army has plans being the featured group of a different story. I have said the squirrel tree frog and baby Cope's were going to join this storyline and they still are. These two frogs are not going to live with the Gray Army. The Frog Forests will gain a southern setup called the Pine Barrens Frog Forest. Along with the Dumpy Family they will be the featured frogs of the story. But frogs will not be the only animals starring in this story. The Skinks who will be gaining the 125 gallon that will live in a Pine Barrens biome will also join the story. So we will be featuring forests and even a specific forest the Pine Barrens in this storyline. So once the building begins we will close this thread out and will focus on this new storyline focusing on the exotic animals. The Gray Army will hopefully be hibernating for me so they will be unable to star in their storyline. I do not want to ruin the plans for them because they will be a part of something very special and important to the brand.

I will post again with the status of the members of the Frog Forests and their weights. Good news to follow.
