    Congrats on another round of new frogs. I would stop here until you've gotten all of your frogs healthy though. I know you're still having trouble with Honey. You are going to need a good size tank for all these guys too! Make sure your frogs are in different areas and none of their supplies are stored near each other. Try to have separate spray bottles also. You do not want to risk contaminating the new ones with whatever Honey has. Chances are though, if they're from the same Petco tank, you're going to be treating ALL of them. Our petco was having a 50% off reptile sale today (amphibs included) and they had the most adorable baby whites, if they didn't have a tank with a few full grown whites right next to the babies to remind me that they grow into big, space loving frogs, it'd be so easy to get suckered in!

    Oh this is my definite hopping off spot, pardon the pun especially since we are in this dinky apartment! 4 is my magic number... we had the 4 PTFs visit us this summer, now they are in their natural environment, so I thought it would be appropriate to have 4 WTFs. I'm known as the Crazy 4 Frogs Lady (double connotation) lol! :P

    They are definitely from the same tank; Jelly Bean and Sheila were already in with Honey and Shirley when I got the first girls. But I only had QT space for two at the time, and though I wanted Sheil I hadn't really contemplated Jelly Bean due to the size diff. Sheila, Honey and Shirley were there the week before Jelly Bean and her mates came in; the newer babies were there 2-3 days before I got Honey and Shirl and no new ones had been added since then. They say they order 6 at a time and won't get another order until they are down a few. The cool thing is I went in today during the Reptile Rally to get two smaller kritter keepers to put the girls in when I deep clean their houses, also a small water dish for Jelly Bean, and a 5 gal tank lid. I mentioned how I missed the sale on WTFs by a day and a half to the cashier (who sold Jelly Bean and Sheil to me) and she talked to the manager and he refunded me $10 credit on each of the girls, making my merch that day less than $5 total! Yay!

    Oh and Honey has been off the Cheerios/wheat germ loaded crickets and on Fluker's powdered cricket diet crickets for about three days now and guess what... her poo is now normal color and getting back to solid form, no more tan mush! Shirley is still beyond normal and laid down one the size of Godzilla for me-- right after cleaning the tank no less. Go figure!

    I am so happy for Jelly Bean! I just gave all the girls a few more crickets (they had some before I left around 4:30 this afternoon, saw her get 2-3 too) and Jelly Bean is looking so content ^_^ She's no longer a petrified little poo poser, glued to a piece of mopani with her eyes closed all day pretending not to exist! She's still under her leaf canopy , but she's moving around, her eyes are open and posture is alert and interested. Sheila, had her speckled green fanny in Jelly Bean's little water dish, and Jelly was sitting and looking at her, but when the crickets came in, Sheil jumped out and Jelly Bean traded places with her LOL! Probably the first nice soak she'd had in a while, she just looked like she was thinking "ahhhh". She's been plenty moist though, thanks to the damp vivas and the way I spray the lid so the droplets "rain" down onto the leaf and patter onto her.

    Pics from earlier today, wish I got some of her in her dish but my cam was charging :P

    JELLY BEAN IS TURNING GREEN! And she went for a walk, lol!! I guess she must have been in a deep brown funk, as attractive as it was; if green means she's happy and content then I say "Go green!" Sheila had her big fat butt in the tiny water dish again, so I guess Jelly Bean thought it was a good time to go exploring. When I turned the flashlight on she went and crawled back over the leaf though, heh.

    ...I really should be going to bed now... *coff* :P

    She's chocolate this morning but still appears content so whichever color rocks her world is fine by me

    Usually Whites will change color depending on humidity and temps. Usually if the temps are higher and humidity is low, the more greener the frog will be, Vice versa.
