One of my baby GTFs is looking quite sick. I cant upload photos, but I will try to describe it:
Its skin has gone a very dark green
Its skin looks dry, and it appears to be peeling on its legs, like shedding
Under its feet you can see its bones and they have gone brown, I dont know if thats normal but ive never noticed it.
It is smaller and skinnier than my other frog that is the same age
It is very lethargic compared to how it used to be - when I put it down it fell on its back and couldnt get up for a few seconds.
Does anyone know what could be wrong with it? PLEASE, any suggestions would be great. Sorry I cant upload pics. |

As for how lethargic it is, it doesnt sound good. Try keeping it in warmer conditions & seperate it from other frogs if possible. Also, UV lights are a must for frogs, im assuming you have one though? Is it eating? |

Unfortunately, my frog died this morning before I could take it to the vet. It was a very sad sight  . I am certain I was doing everything right, so I think it was just bad luck. My other frog looks perfectly healthy, but Im keeping my eye on it. Everything has been sterilised. And no, it wasnt the one that escaped.
Thanks for the help
