Help! Red Eye Tree Frog problem!! Red Wounds on belly.

I really feel for you. Bleach has to be rinsed really well. Like 2/3times. And diluted allot, like 1-10 parts water. If you can smell the bleach in the cage, that's not good. Bleach leaves a residue, that could be sticking around. When I deep clean , I dunk in bleach/water, scrub, and soak in water for 10X longer than they were in the bleach. For spot cleaning I use vinegar water. Vinager evaporates faster than water and leaves no residue.

I'm glad you've covered the cages this may aide in recovery.
Maybe change to spring water while they're in treatment.
But now after all this, it could've started with the bleach.

I have not bleached, the tank was cleaned with Healthy Habitat cleaner originally, and when I removed Bernard from the tank with Charlie and Faraday on Sat I did not clean the tank.
I was asking if I should clean the tank now, or just leave them alone?

I've been using reverse osmosis water, is spring water better for them?

[Kurt]

Oh yeah don't use reverse ossmosis water. This could be part of the problem. Mist with distilled water and fill the water bowl(s) with either dechlorinated tap or spring water.

Clean out the tank and all its funiture with a bleach/water solution, about a 1:10 ratio. Rinse thoroughly and rinse with water with dechlorinator in it. Wooden items cannot be bleached, but you can boil or bake them. Plastic cannot be boiled or baked, but can be bleached.

Lastly get these guys to the vet.

Lastly get these guys to the vet.

Been to the vet already, their on a Ciprofloxacin prescription right now. I'll bleach their tanks tonight, everything's glass or plastic in their tanks.

Everything I read online is different, about their care. I'll switch to spring water, I've been using distilled water in the 29g's fogger, I'll start using that in the mister too.


Thank you so much!

Just finished bleaching the tanks. Really worried that both Bernard and Charlie started bleeding. A wound on Charlies foot opened up, and I'm not sure what exactly bleed on Bernard. I swabbed them with neosporin before I put them back in their tanks.
Oy vey! I really hope that was worth it!
I switched them to spring water too.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Kurt]

Time will tell. Good luck and you're welcome.

He died... I head a squeaky groan and looked into the tank to find him dead on his back...
I feel empty now. Incredibly worried about the rest.
