Hello everyone! My son who is 7 years old has 2 dumpy frogs. He has had them for 3 weeks. We love watching them eat, climb and sit in their water dish.
We have a problem with one right now though

The smaller one is turning dark grey (this one is ushually a nice green color) Im feeling that its stressed not sure why though we havent changed the tank or anything recently but did get our crickets from a differant place? any suggestions on what to do?.

thank you!

Hi there! Welcome!

First, what is the setup like?

[texasmommie3]

We have them in a terririum with clean (hot water and dried) bark bedding (cleanned Sunday) water dish (only room temp bottled water) and food dish. heating pad (on low) and day and night heat light.
The frog was found on its back this morning not sure what happened got it upright and rinsed with bottled room temp water. I just checked the terririum and it still had 5 crickets in it when we bought 6 on monday from a differant store then we had been buying them from. I took the crickets out a bit ago. Could that be the issue?
I fel really really bad my son loves these frogs as well as the rest of the family but it always seems to be my sons pets that end up dieing.

The terririum they are in is just like this one but without all the stuff this one shows to have in it. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...3665&subref=AA

Check out the care article on the left for them and make sure you have your temps and humidity correct. If you can post a picture of the set up it could also help us to help you.

I will try to take pitcures of the set up tonight but might not have them on here till tomorrow.
With the differant crickets from a differant place and the fact that our outside temps (where we live its been -22 and highs of 10 during the day) have been weird with electricity also off and on that it might have contributed to drop in temp for them and the little one went into stress. I wasnt thinking of that.

Temperature could definitely play a part. How is the temperature now? Are you noticing anything else?
