Foggy Eyes Tree Frog

[frogdaze]

I had a Whites tree frog with the spots on his eye and my vet said it is from too much fat in his diet. Unfortunately this cannot be cured. Prevention by not over feeding our charges is the best way to make sure we don't see it. Domestically raised crickets apparently have a high fat content so too many crickets is not healthy. I had to put my frog on a diet or 2 crickets a week and an exercise plan. Such fun.

Exercise plan???

Yes, can you imagine? I have ceramic palm trees and I put them at the top so they had to climb down and then up again and so on. Also, I put them on my arm and they walked up and down, up and down and so forth. They were over weight and so, just like us, they were put on a diet and exercise plan.

Hahahahahahaha. Thanks for that image. This is funny because mine keeps tiring himself out by insisting on exploring immediately after eating 1 single cricket. My plan to feed him once a week has become me feeding him once a week, then dumping the 6 crickets he's too busy exploring to eat into his cage

Sometimes he doesn't even exploring anything other then the tank next to him. O_o It's like "Why do you want in the cricket cage? You have 6 crickets in the gutloading cage I put you in!"

Frogdaze - Foggy eyes are different to corneal lipacities. Corneal lipacities (fat in the eyes) generally look like white masses, particularly around the outer edge of the eye.

Im taking the foggy eye frogs to the vet tomorrow morning, I will let you know what she says!

Kurt: I did separate the species, at first because the tank I had (33 gallon that housed my original 2 Whites) seemed too small for 5 Whites. Then I read that Cubans have a lot of toxins in their skin. So last weekend I bought a huge tank but decided not to mix species. Can Whites and Cubans be housed together????

[Kurt]

I would not mix the two at all. Like you noted, Cuban treefrogs are toxic and so are White's, but to a lesser degree.

This is too funny! I can't even imagine having to come home from work and "walk my frog" each evening! If that's not inspiration to watch the my guys' weight more closely, I don't know what is!
