Re-did the Viv, with pics and new frogs!

[LIZZIE82]

My Red-Eyed Leaf Frog, Isabel died. I lost three of those to the same bacterial infection. They were sold to me this way and I tried so so hard to keep them alive. Isabel looked "odd" and I called the vet and said she looked like Sammy did and should I put her on the antibiotics. He told me to. I did and she died on day 7 of the treatment.

I totally re-did everything. I got 2 new plants, sanitized my bromeliad. I got the only bag I could find of hydro balls, screens with loose eco earth over the screen. I bought the moss that will continue to grow (it does!) and sanitized the soaking dish. I made some hills and bought a side heater.

Then, I returned my American green tree frog, she LOVED it! I decided to buy two more AGTF. When I got them home, one was a little stressed and his color was more lime green on one side and darker on the other, he reminded me of that episode of FRIENDS were Ross gets a spray tan and ends up only getting half of his body. So, now I have Ross. The little one that I got was kind of anal about everything (still is) and I named her Monica. They all seem very happy.

I do have a question about feeding though. Monica and Charlotte LOVE food and aren't skittish about anything. Ross, on the other hand, doesn't like me. I will see him jumping around the viv and then he'll see me, jump to the glass and ball up tight. This is creating a problem with feeding. I am trying to not have to take him out for feeding but he gets freaked when he sees me and doesn't notice there is food right away. By that time, they have eaten them or the crickets have burrowed in the moss. I make sure he gets a few but I want him to have his fair share. The bowl is a no-go. Char and Monica will eat every single last one in minutes and Ross will get none. I have started to put a bag of crickets on the side of the tank for them to see them, get interested and hungry. I do that an normally within 5 mins I have 3 frogs lined up staring at their food. Ross still isn't very fast but at least I get him interested. Any other ideas?? I don't want to have them in another tank for feeding, mainly I don't want to stress him and I think I will catch him maybe once and he will never come out again.

Also, I've never heard any of them call. Ross might be a girl. Perhaps he has a complex?
