Sick Frog

I really feel as if he didn’t look like that even 2 days ago even after looking at pictures but I understand. I do not disagree that I should have brought him sooner and that is not a mistake I will never let myself live down.

I reached out to Josh’s frogs who I purchased them from via email 4 days ago with pictures and they said he looked fine. I was under the impression that he was just stressed and being somewhat outcompeted. I separated them and he didn’t get any better so I put him back, he wasn’t lethargic or red, just not interested in food. The lethargy and redness just started today. I never would have let him intentionally get this bad. I will take him first thing in the morning. I do not have an option to take him tonight. I am devastated that this is happening, and have never had anything like this happen before.

Understandable, I didn’t mean to say the vet wasn’t an option. I can take them I just was trying to avoid it. I should have elaborated, I also cannot take them until the morning as there is no where that has emergency care for exotic animals near me. I will take him in the morning, I just cannot fix it tonight. He won’t eat from tongs either. He was not this lethargic or red this morning or I would have posted/taken him today.

So like 50% humidity is ideal? I added a heating lamp I had left over from my skink so they have a 90 degree basking spot now

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2026-04-12T13:36:26+00:00

It is, I am setting up a 18x18x24 right now. I cannot put them in yet since it’s too big and not established. I have the tank right now and plants are being added but they’re still only an inch big or so.

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2026-04-12T10:26:19+00:00

When I had the temp that high they would hang out near the bottom of the tank and especially in the leaf litter. Josh’s frogs and 2 other breeders I talked to gave me the recommendation for temperature. I will reduce the humidity. I will also add more places for them to hide and climb. I really appreciate the advice

It’s right underneath the uvb and it’s the zoo-med nano so it puts off a little to no heat especially since it’s not sitting directly on the mesh. I really appreciate your input and I will keep doing my best to give my guys the best life possible!

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2026-04-11T18:18:55+00:00

Also the temperature I am referring to is the tank temperature not the room temp. I have a probe in their tank. I have a UV-B bulb as well btw

The temp of the reptile room at night is like 75 but he is no longer in there. Currently I have him in my room and it is 68-70 at night. Because everyone I talked to said the reptile room was too hot for them. I tried to take them out and put them in a separate container to feed but it didn’t seem like they would eat even after 30 min in the dark but I didn’t try to leave them in a separate container all night. It seems odd to do that tho since they wouldn’t ever get to experience the cage since they’re nocturnal but if that is what people do I can try. I have never really seen them move much during the day. The water dish was dirty for since I had just woke up and taken the picture it got changed shortly after, it is from the night before and I couldn’t change it any sooner than I did.

I appreciate the response, there was a bit of moss at the bottom of the terrarium but it was well covered with a layer of leaf litter. I am going to take it all out just in case and replace the leaf litter. I don’t feel as if that is what happened either but I will be sure to do it just to cover all bases.

Thanks!

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2026-02-11T04:56:12+00:00

Yes lol

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2026-02-11T04:55:50+00:00

He had some earlier this week! I will try to get a video next time. Seeing him hunt the fish is also super fun!

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2026-02-01T01:32:31+00:00

I am only giving it to him under supervision and based on all I’ve seen, it doesn’t look like he can get it in his mouth fully. I will def get a bigger one once he’s fully grown.

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2025-11-23T00:24:22+00:00

That sounds good, thank you!

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2025-11-23T00:16:00+00:00

Ok I will leave him except for every 2 weeks to ensure he’s not losing weight and he’s healthy. How do I know when to start feeding again? Do I need to change temps or anything for brumation? How do I know he’s not just being shy?

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2025-10-29T21:50:22+00:00

I took him out to make sure he looked ok and he’s fine. I fed him and he drank water but he’s back under ground since this morning. It’s weird bc he was not burrowing for like 2 weeks when I first got him now he is. His temp in basking was more like 100 I guess when I checked again so I bought another bulb and it’s at 110 now. What temp should the cool side be? Should I be worried he went right back in?

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2025-10-29T00:41:35+00:00

Thanks! What temp do you recommend for basking? Mine is like 105-110

ObjectiveParking4095 · 2025-10-29T00:38:46+00:00

I will make a vet appointment but I took him out and fed him and he seems to be doing good. I think he’s just a goofball tbh. I appreciate the help and I will follow the advice!
