    Default Chytrid treatment question.

    In the ten day lamisil treatment, is it necessary to use a fresh sterile container/enclosure every day? Or just clean paper towel on the bottom?

    while my frogs are soaking I sterilize the quarentine tubs. New paper towells and a few new pieces of pothos and good to go,

    The enclosure and all furniture (water dishes, fake plants, etc) must be sterilized each day to prevent reinfection. When I treat a frog I use a kritter keeper with paper towel and a water bowl whenever possible to keep things simple, I only add fake plants for cover if a frog appears too stressed.

    That's what I've been doing, but you can't put the frogs right back in right?

    Rinse thoroughly until you can no longer smell the chlorine and it is ready to go.
