My Frogs Came!!!

[Geofrog707]

Ok, thank you. I left them alone for a full 8 hours today too! That is a huge accomplishment for me. Although I was at school.. but still. And that is good news about the temps, in the afternoons the temperature gets around that whole range so that is good. I also fed them at night last night so at least I did SOMETHING right. Leaving them alone should be easier now though with my homework and school. Thanks for being understanding about my mistake with the substrate and the whole "talking about my frogs too much" thing though. About the zoo-med fogger, it works really well. I have a decent balance with the light, temp, and fogger so far. I turn the fogger on and the humidity usually won't go passed a certain point (80's) because of the lights, but instead the effects of it last over a long period of time(they usually drop to the 60's or 70;s though). The temp also (as far as I know of) won't go passed 80 degrees but usually stays in the 70's range, although has to get pretty low at night. Maybe that is why the frogs like the purple lights so much. I will take your advice and try to leave them alone more. That is actually a relief hearing you say that (well seeing you type that) the frog will eat when he is ready. Thanks again for all your advice! I really appreciate it!

It's totally fine, like I said, we all like hearing about a new member's frogs. I was very giddy when I brought my big guy home I couldn't shut up about him. ^ ^

And trust me, all frogs go through adjustment periods. My baby blue (Bruce Wayne) ate fine when I first got him and then went through a period where he seemed completely disinterested in crickets, a few days passed and I started to get nervous, but when I cleaned his cage all the crickets were gone so he must have been eating after all.

If you have a concern about your frogs and you want some advice, always feel free to PM me with questions before you freak out and do something potentially harmful. I'm not a expert, but I have experience with nursing my big boy back to health and going through some pretty scary ups and downs, and if I can't help you there are plenty of other members who can. If you see changes in your frog's behavior in a negative way, try to post a thread and wait for some replies before you act, unless of course the problem is serious and needs your immediate attention. There is also a really great froggie first aid article to the left there with some quick fixes for little problems that effect frogs on a regular basis and can be a great help if your frog seems down or won't eat or has some minor skin problems, always check that out and try to treat them accordingly before getting too excited and jumping the gun. It's always best to be sure of what's wrong.

Other than that I can tell you really care about your frogs and if you focus your passions in the correct way, you'll make a great frog mommy, I promise. ^ ^

Ok, I will try to get more help before making rash decisions next time. I will try my best to take care of the frogs properly and someday become a good frog Daddy, I think I will pass on the mommy opportunity, lol. I know it sounds like I have said this a lot but thanks again for your advice! And if it hasn't seem like I have then thanks again for your advice anyway, lol

Nah, we're all frog Mommies, girls AND boys! XD Except maybe John...he can be the Frog King. >>;

But yeah, seriously no problem! You don't have to thank me so much it's the least I could do. I wanna keep your frogs healthy and happy too you know!

Oh, before I forget! Since you are now the proud...owner (just in case "mommy" makes you uncomfortable. XD)...of some White's, would you kindly join the Tree Frogs group and post your listing in our discussion "Tree Frog Owners Listing"? We're trying to get everyone who has tree frogs to post in there, please~! Here's a link:
