    I don't recognize that vine, is it jasmine? I don't think jasmine is toxic, to people anyway, but since it's in an enclosed space, who knows? I wouldn't put it in with a frog having respiratory problems, but otherwise I don't know. And as far as your sick frog, answering some questions would help more knowledgeable people answer you: QUESTIONS

    1----what 'kind' of frog is it ( what species)
    2----please include a photo of the frog
    3----Please include a photo of the frog's current enclosure
    4----size of enclosure ( W" x D" x H" )
    5----# on inhabitants - ( if there is another frog --- is there a size difference ? )
    6----has or was the frog kept with a different species or with any other tank mate
    7----is there a new tank mate----was the new tank mate quarantined
    8----what is the typical humidity level
    9----what temperature is maintained
    10---what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
    11---describe the enclosure lighting ( very specifically)
    12---describe enclosure maintenance ( water changes, cleaning etc)
    13---what kind of water is used
    -----for misting
    -----for the frog's soaking dish
    -----is de-chlorinator used / what brand
    14---material(s) used for substrate - be very specific
    15---enclosure set up:
    -----if recent - describe how the enclosure was cleaned
    -----plants( live or artificial) if artificial plants are used are they plastic or fabric
    -----describe wood, bark , and background materials
    16---when is the last time the frog ate
    17---have you found poop lately
    18---how often is the frog fed
    19---what size feeder is given
    20---what other feeders are used as treats
    21---what is the frog's main food source
    22---do feeders roam free in the enclosure or is the frog bowl fed
    23---vitamins - what brand and how often
    24---calcium - what brand and how often
    25---was the frog without calcium for any period of time
    26---approximate age of the frog
    27---how long have you owned the frog
    28---who cared for the frog before you
    29---is the frog wild caught or captive bred
    30---how often the frog is handled -- are gloves used ( what kind of gloves)
    31---is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area
    30---has or was the frog properly quarantined (yes or no)
    -----for how long
    32---has the frog been treated with any medication:

    austrailian whites tree frog 1.5"
    baby-age unknown
    12x12x18 exo terra
    he/she is with 2 other babies and they are about 2"
    i use exo liquid calcium now (just started)
    they eat in the enclosure
    feeding on live crickets 1/2" crickets and mealworms
    they are all the same species
    temp varies from 76-84......cooler during the day
    under take mat for heat and reptile bulb 15watt during the day and sometimes at nite
    I change the water every day and mist with spring water. I use glacier spring only. (had a bad experience with dechlorinater)
    substrate- cocofiber and sheet moss and medium size rocks. One potted plant and one fake plastic plant and bamboo
    I've had them for 3 weeks now and i keep them in my room in the corner.
    Ive been feeding them every other day and just started with the calcium after I saw him bloated n limbs extended
    they are captive bred & i try not to handle them.......only when i have to spot clean.
    & the terrarium smells!!! And i think its because of the moss? Im not sure. I feel like im doing something wrong.
    I placed him in a seperate critter keeper where he has heat, a hide, soak, & plant

    He seems so lonely by himself and im wondering if i should put him back with the others sinces he's showing normal signs of behavior.......How long should i wait if he's eating and behavior is normal? BUT since i got him he has been dark colored but every since he's been alon he is a bright green. Is that a sign of stress?? And i honestly have no clue about the plant. I think i will try to find a plant forum or someone who can identify it. But i do think its a Madagascar jasmine....comparing pics it looks exact. Im gonna post pics thru my phone
