I lost my both my 7 month old whites last night that i raised from tadpoles. When i changed my substrate to coconut fibre they must have got a toxin from it somehow i cleaned it changed there water with decloranaited water daily i did evey thing i could unfortunely i lost my two best friends. they never had marks sores or anything on them. I was just wondering if any one from queensland Australia had either Whites, Red Eyes or Peron's tree frogs for sale or could help me get some from somewhere

Coconut fiber shouldn't have done that to your frog. The only thing I can think of is, either something totally different happened, or maybe you didn't use dechlorinated water to expand the brick and that did something?

I mean, I always dechlorinate the water I use to expand the Bed-A-Beast or whatever, but I do it out of my own whim, I don't think anyone has ever mentioned that to me, so I doubt that even that would be a problem serious enough to kill a White's.

Anyway, to know what killed your frog you're going to have to make a vet visit. People can help you figure out if you were or have been doing anything wrong, but anyone could only make a guess as to what was wrong if you provide detailed information about his/her care.
