Frogs With Broken Legs

[GrifTheGreat]

Why are you housing frogs with Geckos?? You should never house different species together especially not frogs with reptiles. As froglets their really isn't anything that can be done. Separate them immediately. Make a hospital tank with only paper towels as substrate. Make the towels farely wet with Luke warm de-chlorinated water and keep a close eye on them. There really isn't anything you can do. Not even a Vet can set their tiny legs. It may be best to actually euthanize the poor little froglets so they don't suffer. Their legs will not heal properly and they will not be fast enough to catch food.

I'm very sorry, but this is probably the best thing you can do for them now. Ultimately it is your choice.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I've heard of success with froglets of Colorado River toads and white-lipped tree frogs.
I guess it just depends on the species.

In the meantime, why don't you try to locate a reptile/amphibian vet near you. Try using Google. I found an amphibian vet that way.

Yeahhh....the only two species I've even heard of being housed together are those little 10 cent fish from Wal-Mart and Firebellied toads. Everything else? Nada. Animals aren't like us. If a small animal will fit in their mouth, they're probably going to eat it. Or the two will poison each other. Is it a Leopard Gecko? Some people think that just because two different species have similar names, mixing them is ok to do. It's not.

I'd take that last froglet(s? How many did you have?) and separate him from that gecko IMMEDIATELY. LIKE RIGHT FRICKIN' NOW.

Like the others said, froglet legs are too tiny to fix. You're either going to end up with lame frogs that you have to hand feed, or, you might do as Grif suggested and euthanize them.

If you go to get more frogs in the future, let this be a learning experience, no co-habitation between species ever again mmmkay?

I'd still consult a veterinarian just to be on the safe side. It's always best to seek professional help in this type of situation.
Keep in mind that the nearest veterinary clinic to you probably doesn't do frogs...try to find a reptile or amphibian vet near you on Google.

I second this post. Even if they appear fine now doesn't mean that they will be tomorrow or the day after that. The broken limbs can become infected and spread through the frogs body causing them to die. Seek a Herp Vet immediately.
