Thanks John,
They all are doing very well, eating consistantly and pooping, active and alert and don't seem to have any problems thus far that I can tell. I got them all as very small froglets, in the yard, shortly after they left my pool as tadpoles. I do not have any other frogs except for these. They have been growing fast, but one seems to have gotten thin, possibly because it's smaller and may be intimidated or competing with the other larger frogs for it's food. After they are finished eating I have been taking that one out and feeding it separately and it is now eating. Once I set up the 10 gal for the 3 smaller ones (Mr. Hoppy, Baby and Shadoobie ) I may put that one in with them, since the size is closer.
*I was under the impression that, especially since they had been outside, they always had to be de wormed. Trust me when I say I am not looking forward bringing 13 Gray Tree frogs to the vet for de worming and if it is not a necessity than I'd be thrilled not having to bring them.
If I don't have them de wormed *****what risks do I run and what signs should I look for that would alert me that perhaps I should bring them?
Thanks again for the info, this is great news and my pocket book thanks you too!!!!LOL
