Sick red-eyed tree frog?

[Kurt]

Hi,
Welcome aboard. As John said I keep and brred this species. To see them eat in front of you is a rare event. They will only eat after dark. On occasion I have been able to see them feeding in dim light.
I have a few years of experience with this species and I have never seen anything like this condition your frog has. I would seperate it from the other frogs, that way you can see if it is feeding.
Just put one or two crickets in at a time. That will make it easier for you to monitor the situation better. Remember to provide water. I made a mistake many, many years ago with my very first red-eye. I put it into a little critter keeper over night to see if was eating, but I did not provide it with water. I put in two crickets, it at least ate one, but before it ate the other it died of dehydration. Lesson being red-eyes can't survive long without access to water. I once forgot my two White's in a Rubbermaid overnight and they were fine. You can't do that with a red-eye.
It would be a good idea to see a qualified vet as soon as possible. Has there been any abnomal behavior? An skin sloughing?

Nope, no abnormal behavior other then it being skinny and having green splotches on its legs. I guess I will just keep a super close eye on it and take it to the vet when I get paid... Probly won't be able to afford a vet visit but I would have to lose my little guy, had him about 18 months now...

I got him into a hospital tank thats pretty bare, he has a nice cricket proof water dish and 3 crickets to stalk. He was in his bright green jacket when I got home because the light was on, but the spots are barely visible. I hope that after he eats he will look normal in the mornin.

If the crickets are good by morning that will be a good sign.

Crickets are gone, and I can't see the green splotches on him, I will keep him in the hospital tank for another night before I put him back in with the others.

Ok. Maybe its case of stress or maybe one of his roommates peed on him. I would keep seperate for 3 days or so, just for observation

Make sure his tank temperature is 80-85 degrees. Have a fecal sample tested for parasites, and get him on panacur if he tests positive. Good luck. P.S. Have you introduced any new plants into the tank. One time I introduced a new rubber plant into my Red Eye tank. I washed it off well first and put flat river stones on the dirt to keep the frogs away from any fertilizer or chemicals. Within three months all Red Eyes were dead.
