here is all the information I can think off. I bought him from a show on may 10th (along with another one). I put him in his own shoebox with a damp paper towl, a shallow water bowl (a cut off bottom from a plastic cup, and a pothos leaf to hide under. All water was dechlorinated. I fed him a mix of hydei and melanocaster flies. There was always a good amount of them in their. I found him dead in the water bowl this morning? Does anybody have any sugestions of what possibly could have happended? If someone says he was probably just an unhelathy frog that would make me feel better (since I thought I was capable enough to take care of azureus). Any help will be appreciated, and hopefully the same thing won't happen to my other frog. Thanks.

What where the temps and the humidity? Its kind of hard to say in realitey some frogs just dont survive for what ever reason I am down too 1 of my E. hahneli and I havent the slightest idea why all my other frogs are doing fantastic.

From the subject line, the word is tad, not froglet--was this a tadpole? If he was a tadpole, perhaps the fruit fly diet wasn't appropriate.

The temps were around 78 degrees since they are on top of a snack box that is heated. I don't knwo the exact humidity but it was whatever a damp paper towl makes it. Thanks.

Hi,

what's the humidity? how many times you open the box per days/weeks (air exchange)?
