Too many frogs dying

[clownonfire]

Also summer is in full swing in a lot of states. I've talked with some people who are already dealing with overheating issues with some tank temps getting into the 90s. That's way too warm for a lot of frogs. Please monitor your temps and check out the 10 day forecasts so you don't get caught off guard.

It's a very good point. We have horrid humid summers in Montreal, and had higher temperature than usual these past few days. Most of the frogs I keep don't tolerate high heat, but the Phyllobates terribilis and the Atelopus hoogmoedi even less. So fans were installed in their tanks.

Here's a tip: Make sure that if you install a fan in a tank where high humidity is needed that you increase your misting as stronger air circulation will dry up your tanks faster.

I was given my frog rather suddenly and had very little time to figure things out! I did, however, read a million pages about caring for tree frogs (when I got my frog I didn't even know what kind it was!) and then shoot off to petsmart and buy the basics.

It's been 8 days since I got that little frog. I have been reading nonstop about care for it and asking questions as often as I can think of them. I am constantly tweaking and revamping her habitat as needed this last week.

I'm actually enjoying caring for this little froggy so much I might consider getting another one in a few months!

My pets are my family members too though, so I cant imagine giving them less than the absolute best care.
