Feeding frog to frog

[Malachi]

Freezing does not destroy chytrid, it thrives under cool conditions and is able to survive being frozen. Treating the frogs for chytrid before freezing is probably the safest way to go, though heating the (pre-killed) frogs before feeding may also be sufficient, bringing them up to a temperature of 120 degrees and holding it there for half an hour or so should do the trick.

Here is some info on chytrid.

Thank you. I bought them frozen, so i think the 120 degree thing is what I will do. I also remember reading that African Bullfrogs have a natural resilience to Chytrid due to being from Africa. Has anyone heard of this?

I've heard of it. I think it was on this forum. It may not affect them as badly. When I treated chubbz cause I suspected he may carry it, I noticed an increase in appetite and energy afterwords.

how do you treat them?

Is there a test for chytrid?

I heard there was a test but that it wasn't very accurate 30% of the time. I think there are a few different places that due testing.

Will I found info for the chytrid treatment on talk to the frog. I would tell you how to treat them but I can't remember exactly how it was. It's been awhile and I think they may have changed some things. I think it was 10ML of Lamasil AT in 200 ML of water for 10-14 days. I don't trust my memory 100% on this though. lol

It is 1 mL of Lamasil to 200mL of water. The frogs are soaked for 5 minutes each day, making sure to completely wet the frog with the solution, and the enclosure must be sterilized while the frogs are soaking to prevent reinfection. The treatment period is 10 days.

if i kept my frogs in containers with paper toil instead of their original cages would that be ok and just clean the cages once.
