Default Terrible news

Today wasn't a great day as I came home to find one of my 4 auratus froglets dead. I was hoping someone could provide some insight into what might have happened as I think this particular froglet may not have been eating enough. It seemed quite skinny compared to the others. Although I have witnessed it eating recently, I'm wondering if maybe the others were getting the majority of the food since they seem to respond to the food immediately as I place it in the tank. The froglet that died was not so responsive for the past few days. Hopefully someone can provide me with some good info as I do not want this to happen again.

Sounds like it may have been stressed? How big of a tank are all these frogs in?
In the future if anyone else who looks smaller/ skinner you may want to house them seperatley until they oack on some weight and size. The consider returning them to the community. Good Luck.

There were 4 froglets in a 20 tall. I just removed the other froglet who was pretty skinny. Keeping it in a semi-large gladware container now until he seems ok

watch for a "bully" animal. if one is being overly agressive this could be cousing the successive stressed frogs. if this is the case remove the bully and all should be fine
