Here they are... Poor babies. Look at the settings and nasty molded moss they had them in. I left the two plants and log thing at the store. They let me take the tank and water bowl which were thoroughly washed and rinsed.

They are a bit stressed out right now from the pedialyte soaks, force feedings, medicine and the housing adjustment. I'll let them rest the rest of the night.

Unfortunately due to the poor condition they're in, they will have to be handled for a bit. They should be pretty settled by the time the zoo gets them.

I will give them a 2 week course of metronidizole and see how they do. Hopefully by having them in the proper humidity they will not need soaks for very long. I think they will start eating again now that they should feel more secure in this setting. They had them out in the open with no coverings on the sides and the plastic plants were prickly, so whenever I went to the store to check on them, they were away from the plants. I will keep their temp at 78 to 80 degrees to help stimulate their metabolism and to help their immune systems fight off their illnesses. The metronidazole will treat the infections and will also stimulate their appetites. Once they start eating I wont have to hold them, which will lessen their stress even more.

They are really pretty. The one female has a bit of blue around her eyes. She's the thinnest, smallest one. I think I have two females and one male, judging by the croak of only one when I picked them up.

The people at Petco were very happy I could help them. I am very excited that the zoo wants them. They take good care of their animals. I would love to keep them, but it's just too many. I spend about 2 hours a day providing frog and tank care. I'd never let them die and would have taken them anyway, but this is a great alternative . I'm very happy for them .

I might be helping to build their enclosure there. We'll see.
