maybe some posion dart frogs

[mh32]

I don't know if I'm ready to spend the money on dart frogs yet and the fruit fly thing seems like more work than I want right now. But I have hopes of having some in the future. Any other ideas?

His is breathing OK and looks like he has been alive since this AM. Not quite sure what to do. I have some experience with exotics and will do whatever I need to do to help this little guy out if there is anything??
Thanks for your help

Maybe a mod can put this in a new thread in the treefrog section?

Meanwhile, jsalmon you should go get some polysporin cream right away. Spread some on the affected areas with a clean q-tip. Sometimes it's tricky to do this because the frog won't stop moving away. It needs to be applied at least 2 times a day.

The frog needs to be alone iin a clean enclosure. If you have a small spare aquarium, lay down wet papertowels in the bottom. This frog is arboreal so it will need some branches to climb on. Try to keep the tank simple so it's easy to keep clean.

Most important is to make sure the frog is eating. I'm not sure what experience you have with frogs so I'll keep this post short, if you have more questions just ask.

mh32: Now that you're ready, the most fun is going to pet shops and shopping around for a new pet Can even check online. Have fun and let us know what you choose (Pics!)

[mh32]

My problem is there are no pet shops around. Unless you count PetsMart which I don't. I think I'll just stick with my Cuban Tree frog for now.

Well it's been over 4 months since I finished. Just thought I'd share some updated photos of the viv now. It still is home to my Cuban Tree Frog.

This was in august.


This is now.



This was a fun surprise.

Growing in real nice

[harrywitmore]

Very nice. Looks like a living project. I like the look grown in allot.

[froggsong]

WOW! That is looking great! I love those broms, and that mushroom really stands out.

[mh32]

Yeah I like when I get mushrooms every once in a while. A few days later I got two more. They only last a few days but I think they are cool.
