Sorry Andaroo. x

Please take the other animals out of the tank, separate them, and disinfect everything, then keep them separate for a couple of weeks...

Also, buy some saline solution, if you notice they are awake through the day or acting different simply set them in saline and water for a few minutes each day...you will have to weigh up the stress to the treatment here.

This is what I did with my babies and they are both now double the size they were...but I only did this when they looked like they needed it...(brown in colour, awake on the floor in the morning) once they had this bath their colour returned and they found another place to sleep (like they had been given an energy boost).

Fingers crossed your others will be okay. xx

You need to establish the cause and prevent it from happening to the remaining stock. I would quarantine the other separately in hospital style tanks so you can monitor there feeding and feces. The main viv needs a good clean out with disinfectant or mild bleach solution. any live plants should ideally be replaced or at the very least cleaned. Have you had the deceased tested for parasites, bacteria or cyhtrid? i think it may be wise to to rule out any possible break outs and to prevent the other frogs scrumming the same fate.

Keep your chin up mate, i doubt its you or your husbandry.
