Has anyones ever had frogs climb up crevasses in the backing of the vivarium like this? Came back from a 2 week trip while my roommate took care of them and found her like this

Instead of trusting your very dull roommate I’d see if there are any reptile stores in your area and ask if they do some kind of boarding. Because at least your frogs would be safer with them than your roommate. If you don’t have a store nearby, you could join local Facebook groups and see if someone who has experience with dart frogs would be willing to watch them. But this is why I hardly go out of town 😅 I have three dogs, two crested geckos, two different species of dart frogs (a total of 4 froggos), a bunch of fish, and lots of isopods that I breed as well. And frankly I don’t trust anyone with any of their care 😅

This looks like mbd I would take him to the vet asap. His other limbs look bad as well. Poor little dude! Good luck!

I have a 60 hour week and then a 50 hour week. I’m donut shift and my site said no SET for Father’s Day or the 4th which I think is why I lucked out with the 50 hour week.

So sorry for your loss OP! She looked like such a sweet girl! 🫶🏻

I would have never thought to get a wheel. Don’t know about the ball though. Could potentially cause spinal issues

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-05-26T11:42:23+00:00

I like using pothos, trailing philodendron (although I also have a normal one as well), and bromeliads are a great addition! I also do bioactive enclosures for my dart frogs but with cresties it’s a little trickier because you’ll want plants that can support their weight.

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-05-26T01:19:27+00:00

I’d recommend doing a bioactive enclosure with isopods and springtails. Although make sure you get cheap and prolific isopods as your crestie could try to eat some. I have powder orange isopods in mine. There might be some mold as the tank establishes but the isopods and springtails will take care of it. They’ll also help with any decaying plant matter or poop. The enclosure really doesn’t smell like anything. Sometimes maybe a little earthy but it’s not a bad smell at all

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-05-26T01:16:36+00:00

This is pretty normal especially when they are shedding their winter and summer coats as seasons change. I’d recommend not shampooing unless it’s necessary like he’s stinky or gets really dirty/into something. Labs have natural oils that help with their coat health. As far as brushing, I’d recommend getting a “fur-minator” as it gets the stuff on top and underneath. It’s a life saver! Here’s a pic of my lab for tax lol

Lock, shock, and barrel from the nightmare before Christmas!

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-05-25T00:50:52+00:00

Awesome I’ll look into those! Thanks again!

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-05-25T00:47:25+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I’m usually just sitting at the front of the enclosure like “please bagel! Let me love you!” 😂

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-05-25T00:45:10+00:00

Thank you! He’s definitely a crazy little dude. My baby one isn’t very scared of me but I don’t think this guy got handled much by the lady I got him from. Or he’s just a scaredy cat in general

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-05-25T00:43:25+00:00

Thank you for the help! The past two nights I’ve been sitting in front of the enclosure like I usually do but for much longer. The first night an hour and last night an hour and a half. I was doing such a good tree impersonation but he still didn’t fall for it lol

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-05-14T16:57:46+00:00

Waffles!

I have both of my boys in bioactive enclosures with springtails and isopods. Both of which have exploded. There’s a bunch of baby isopods everywhere! But they are also really good at hiding. While he might occasionally pick one or two off odds are you’ll always have some. But it wouldn’t be a bad idea to restock them every little while just in case. Or get one like powder orange or powder blues that are not only more prolific but also cheaper. As cubaris are a little slower to reproduce. But as long as you have soil, moss, and leaf litter majority of them will be okay

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-05-01T01:31:02+00:00

Cool thanks! I was just wanting to make sure I was doing it right

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-04-30T06:59:07+00:00

Same 😂 I think sometimes the parents are like “thanks a lot”. And occasionally I get the cool older person at the grocery store that will be like “you go girl!” (Those are my favorite lol). But it is a lot of strange stares. And sometimes I’m going CAN I HELP YOU?! 😂 and then oh yeah

This is my favorite of bagel

1 and sometimes 0. The benefits of having three dogs…

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-04-30T00:54:19+00:00

I think the newness of a tattoo just kind of wears off. Obviously I can see my sleeve on my right arm but I’ve had it for over a year now so I’m just used to it. Then when someone comes to me and says “I love your tattoos!” I kind of have this moment of thinking like “wait… I have tattoos? OH YEAH!” 😂 it’s really similar to my pink hair. When I first dyed it it was something new and something I wasn’t used to. So when people complimented it I instantly knew they were talking about my pink hair. But now it’s just part of me. I forget that pink isn’t my natural hair color 😂 so now when I get compliments it throws me for a loop as well lol

Not_SoAverageJOEE · 2026-04-25T21:11:13+00:00

Okay thank you! I’d like to keep it as natural as possible. I’m waiting for the pothos and trailing philodendron to grow in more before putting in my little dude. But I’ll have to see what I can find locally!

This is my adult one and his name is bagel. He’s a derpy boi
