My Red eye tree frog died after 2 days

[Molch]

Ah, sorry this happened to you. Pet shop animals are often stressed and diseased. Rather than getting another one from the pet shop, why not look around for a captive-bred one? They are likely to be healthier than pet shop frogs.

Just go back from the pet-shop and they have given me a credit note. When they get another in they are going to call me. They not easy to come by round this way!

I may get 2 this time to keep each other company.

Thank you all for your help.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I have just recently got 2 of these little guys. And your right, they are difficult to come by! All of the reptile stores in my area keep telling me to come back in Spring though.

Hope you get another one soon

Yeah I could only find 1 pet store in a 20 mile radius that had any tree frogs. They only had one and he was priced at 69.95 !

One thing the pet shop did say is that they had someone in and they bought 5 tree frogs but left the one I bought. Poor little bugger. Maybe he was lonely? Or maybe the chap who bought the rest saw something I hadn't.

Any ways I just have to wait now until I get a phone call!

69.95?? Wow thats alot of money, i payed 39.99 each for my two. Which isn't too bad. They're established, healthy and captive bred. So i can't complain.

But seriously, for that money, make sure they give you that replacement!

Whereabouts in UK are you located? I have a few shops with my name and telephone number for when they get RETF's back in stock. I could pass the names of these shops onto you if your nearby?

Cheers

Thanks James .

I'm in east Sussex and I did think it was a little on the expensive side.

I'm going to have a look further a field next time .

Thanks.

Well depending on how far you're wanting to travel, there's paws for thought in Leeds West Yorkshire. This is where i got my two from and appareantl; throughout spring+summer they have them in stock on a regular basis... Best shop in West Yorkshire, hands down.

Then there's New World Exotics in Nottingham, Beeston. They get them in regulary.

There is one or two others, can't think of them right now though Those are the best two though!

Happy New Year!
