Urgent help, cricket attack!

[Morgan Freeman]

Just a quick update if anyone is interested.

The nose is certainly no worse, no blood and no signs of swelling or infection. Lets hope it clears up soon.

use small locusts they only eat green leaves and never bother my frogs. The cuts my red eye had all over him healed without any problems so im sure it will be fine

Yeah I will do in future, I just have lots and lots of crickets.

Cheers!

It's the first real issue I've had with any of my pets, can be a bit unnerving.

quite a nasty wound there - spray him softly and directly onto his nose - but only for about 2 days. you can leave it how it is, as its recovering. But i just thought it may get infected but if its clearing up i would just leave it and keep away from the crickets !


also to who ever said that the browns are worse than blacks - blacks in my own opinion are much worse than browns for attacks, which is why for my phibs i always buy browns

True about the blacks, they have a bad tendancy to chew on everything, and have a rather nasty bite...and they grow to be huge quickly so if one or two are accidentaly left in the tank it can be disasterous, especially for smaller frogs.

rob-stl-07;510540 av got a name n it easier to remember than urs nob a got it wrong a read more about the brown silent ones eatin each other and also about an escape of browns which seeminly destroyed a fridge, on the other hand blacks are slower easier to catch make a noise so are easier to locate, blacks are harder to digest i also read blacks are more selective of food.....they both have benefits and flaws so realy it up to the owner which suits them hoppers would be the ideal option but to expensive for some folk i mix blacks and hoppers if my frog gets bitten ive tried my hardest to prevent it as ive sayed before the frog would be in more danger in the wild.

Really? I'm a bit tentative to try that, I have a plant at home.

I checked on him this morning and it's defintiely not infected or any worse, no sign of improvement though.
