My RE is acting kind of clumbsy and is roming the floor of the cage alot more than usual.She is also awake alot in the day recently too.The cage is kept at a semi constant 70 - 75 degrees and it is misted about every other day or so but I have not been putting water in the bowl on a constant basis.all they really do is defecate in it.the cage is a ten gal set up on end with a half and half screen and plexi door.Any thoughts?

thanks,
Andy

too late (

You need to mist the cage about 2 or 3 times a day and always have fresh water in the bowl at all times. Reading any kind of caresheet about these animals would tell you that and also tell you they need a bigger tank than a 10 gallon. They need about a 30 gallon or 29 gallon to be successfully kept.

do you realise you sound like a completely incosiderate idiot? maybe you should be denied water because you only go to the bathroom in it in the toilet. nevermind the frog has to drink,huh? if youve read a caresheet on the frog's care youd know they need to be misted atleast 3 times a day. i not even going to touch this one,youve already let the frog dehydrate to death because of your idiocy. forget it.

I have kept tree frogs for well over 2 years and have had great sucess.I quarantined this frog because she was acting abnormally.
and she was misted at least twice a day.So mabye you should get all the facts before you go calling people idiots,you pompus know it all, waste of time.Mabye you should figure out how to make sense of what you are trying to write in your posts before you start insulting those that tolerate people like you.So get a life or mabye a warm blooded friend....

Excuse me,are you not the one who came here asking for help? You did sound like an idiot when you said you wouldnt fill the frogs water bowl because it only poops in it. What the heck is that?1?!
Calling me a pompous know it all is close enough, because at this point one of us has an alive RETF,and it isnt you. If you've been keeping frogs for 2 years you would know that a 10 gallon is too small for a RETF,and they require very high humidity,and soak very often,so water is obviously needed. ask stupid questions get stupid answers... what did you expect?
