How can I tell if my tree frog has an illness?
Assess your frog’s energy level. Lethargy can be a key symptom of a variety of illnesses that occur in tree frogs. They include Red-Leg, MBD, edema, and others. Look for a lack of activity, the frog’s jaw to hang open, and its legs to be sprawled out. Red-Leg is often fatal — there is no known cure for it.
Feed as many crickets as the frogs will eat in 10-15 minutes. For adults, feed 2-3 times per week. For youngsters, feed every 1-2 days.
