I am so sorry that you have had to go through loosing both of your frogs, this isn't fair at all!!!
I agree, I think your frogs were already sick, like I mentioned before, several people have posted they got new frogs that seemed fine at first then stopped eating and died.
I beleive it turned out that they had parasites. An animal can appear fine and live with these parasite for a while, but if they have any significant stress, being relocated, etc., it can cause the parasites to bloom or reproduce during the time the frogs immune system is lowered from the stress, or actually any illness for that matter can worsen or become evident for this same reason.
Please contact the breeder and discuss this, if they are reasonable and or knowledgable they should be aware of this and hopefully compensate you for your loss, hoepfully with new frogs, that I would bring to the vet immediarely. Don't get rid of the bodies, you may have to bring them to the breeder/pet store for either evidence or have a vet check them, post mortem, IgbyKibbits, has had several die and has had a vet check hers too, she may be able to help you with this.
The breeders/pet store may not have even been aware the frogs were ill either, so give them the benefit of the doubt, until they give you a hard time and mention the pet lemon laws, which protects customers of new pets for this exact reason!!! You can look it up, I think I posted some of the laws under lindyhops recent post and link when her frogs also were sick and died after she had just purchased them.
If you need any help I'd be happy to assist you anyway I can. Again I am so sorry for your losses.
