Hi,
We have had a grey tree frog for about a year. He's been doing great...eating fine, active, etc. In the past 2 weeks he seems to be getting smaller/skinnier. He used to be VERY fat, and now, not so much. It's very noticible. He's still eating jut as much, and is still active.
The weather has warmed up considerably, could that be a reason? What else should I be looking for or doing?
Thanks!
Kristin
Hi Kristin,
How has the little guy been doing? Is he still eating normally and active, but losing weight? Check out the Frog First Aid article: It could be parasites-
"Does eat, loses weight, listless.
Parasites in intestines, “Worms”
Treat with FENBENDAZOLE (PANACUR) 25mg/kg of bodyweight. Dissolve and drop on frogs’ back once a day for at least 10 days. Or dust the food items for 3 consecutive days."
The warmer weather could also effect frogs, mist more often, make sure the room is cooler, ect....
If he does not improve I would take him to a vet. Let us know how he is doing?
