Somethings wrong with my green tree frog! HELP!

[JAF1991]

My frogs young and lately it hasnt been eating as much and is getting skinny. But the part im mostly worried about is its back legs. it will sit right but if it tries to walk or anything sometimes his legs go kinda backtofront. and also ive noticed white marks in his skin. i have a picture though its not very good.

I can't tell much from the picture. But 1st question, are u suplimenting calcium and vitamins. There's MBD, bones break from lack of suppliment. U may have a handicaped frog, please don't kill him, just start dusting his food every other day.

WTF get spots , it's normal

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your frog. If you can post a picture of his enclosure and give us your temps and humidity so we may offer you some advice. A lot of times lose appetite due to environmental conditions. Sometimes its just the type or size of the food. Fill us in on those variables and maybe we can help. Check out the care article on the left to help you out.

We feed them small crickets and we feed the crickets gutload. We just set up the tank different. the hygrometre says 80 and the thermometer is 20c.

We feed them small crickets and we feed the crickets gutload. We just set up the tank different. the hygrometre says 80 and the thermometer is 20c.

Two things: first, that tank is much too small for any adult WTF, so I hope it is only a temporary housing.

Secondly, your temperature is much too low. Are you using outside heating sources? If not then you should start, 20c is not a good temperature for frogs to thrive. They cannot digest their food and you may start to see other problems. This could be your issue right here.

Try to raise the temperature up to between 24c (at the lowest) and 30c and see if that helps. WTFs are very versatile frogs but they DO need the proper heat, as any frog does, to thrive.

I'm sorry yours is sick, raise the temps a bit first and see if that helps.
