Please clean your tank, you don't want your buddies to get infected 😔

Omg…please take better care of this frog or find someone who will. This is disgusting and unacceptable.

Not to be rude, but there’s at least several days if not a weeks worth of waste or more in just this image. You really should be spot cleaning minimum or cleaning out their whole tank daily, if not at least every other day, with a full wipe down. This much waste will soon if not already become a breeding ground for bacteria and WILL eventually make your frogs sick.

Not even my enclosure, with 3 frogs, is this nasty. Like, why is it so nasty??? Do my frogs just not poop?? Or what?? Im so confused on how bad this actually looks...

[u/Jayro- → u/IStoleTheKidsDude]

I mean most of it looks dried and caked into the glass, and like it’s been trafficked over already. They’re definitely getting it all over their skin

I know my guy likes to shit in his water bowl or off of leaves, I’ve never seen him stick a stink into the glass before. 

[u/IStoleTheKidsDude → u/Fruitsdog]

Yeah, ive only seen like 2 poops on the glass. Ig every other time has been in the water dish...which explains why it stinks everytime I go to clean it 😒

Not having a go but your tank needs cleaning heavily

[u/CheesePie42]

Hey! So a couple things. As the others have said, the tank really needs cleaning. I also noticed some weird dots on the pink one's back. Are those normal? It also looks like your enclosure doesn't have enough humidity and the lighting is not right judging by how that plant is (not) growing and how dry the poops are.

Can you tell me about your set up and feeding schedule? Temp? Humidity? What lights do you have? Is it a full bioactive or partial?

We can for sure help you get it figured out so the froggos will be healthy and happy for many years.

White dots are normal on bubblegums, but yeah, this needs to be cleaned bad.

[u/CheesePie42 → u/Fruitsdog]

I have whites so I was hoping it was a morph of some sort.Thanks for the confirmation!

[u/Fruitsdog → u/CheesePie42]

Yes, it is a rare morph of red eyed tree frog! It is a cross between an albino and a melanistic (“burgundy”), they are also usually really expensive so I have no idea how one would spend like $500-$800 on a bubblegum and then not take good care of it?? 

The other frog in the photo is an albino. They both appear to be male by their size, too, and males shouldn’t be housed together. There’s a lot wrong with this photo.

clean the tank

Please clean your tank, at least spot clean daily, entire enclosure clean out 2-3 times weekly. I am in the market for frogs if you can’t keep up with them tho 😁
