the coloration decay of RETF

manhattan Mar 02, 2007 09:18 AM

Hi~everyone,
I found a situation and it continuingly bothers me.

My pair RETFs I've kept them for 1 year more,but their coloration seems become lighter and liter, especially the part of blue belly and red toes(WC).And later my male die soon but his spirit and appetite is always good,even before his death >_<
one wiered sympton is paralysis of his back leg.and my female was died for infection,so I can't obverse her whether die for coloration decay.

Could anyone tell me what might be the matter?Thank you all for reading this and any replies would be more than appreciated.

I"m not sure if I really understand what is happening. Try posting a bit more about their environment... paralysis suggests some sort of toxic substance in the tank. Maybe a plant of another species of frog?

Also, try posting your question at http://talkto.thefrog.org
There are alot of experience people that may be able to tell you what is going on. Only you have to give more details. (like your setup, temps, humidity, other inhabitants?)

Possibly calcium deficiency? Were you dusting the crickets?
