    Sorry the other one got away. It's unlikely it's still alive at this point. By the way, the healthy frog you have left almost certainly is carrying whatever got the other one sick, so be mindful of mixing new Red-Eyed Tree Frogs with it.

    Baby Red Eyes are pretty frail and the stress of shipping and being placed in a new environment may have been too much for him. With that being said you should always quarantine all new frogs for at least thirty days before introducing them to your other frogs. I would quarantine for sixty to ninety days with wild caught frogs.

    Oh man, that scares me now. He seems perfectly fine. Is he going to get sick? Should I treat him with anything? How would I be able to put another frog with him if he's carrying something? Any idea what the other frog had? A bacterial infection, maybe a parasite?

    Just keep an eye on him, he could be fine, but he definitely could have what the other had. The other one could have died from shipping stress though, hopefully that was just the case and everything is fine with this other one.
