I am in the ACT, where we have very few expert (Amphibian/Frog) vets or even specialists ... At least thas what i have been told by our local reptile experts.

Our Green Tree frog has developed clouded eyes, that almost look like they are bulging. Appetite has always been low, since he/she was young... Only a few (2-3) crickets, which i consider low compared to our others who could eat all night.

The only other major thing to report is that i suspect he/she is blind... We have taken him/her out of the tank and attempted to attract his/her interest with no success. No retina (i presume that is what you call them in a frog, gold vs black) response or change to light. Even when sleeping mostly gold with small amount of black, same at night or when awake. Only responds to food placed on lip/face, if interested.

Smaller than oher frogs. Other frogs show no similar symptoms.

Any suggestions or ideas of what this could be? Any help would be appreciated!

If it's just one animal, it's doubtful it'd be anything other than a congenital problem...survival of the fittest, even in captivity. I'd have a good think about what its quality of life is like.
