Certainly won't hurt to isolate them, just to be on the safe side. Might be worth cleaning the whole tank out and sterilising or replacing the fittings too.

Oh dear

I can't offer any advice mate, I'm just as new to these guys as you are - hope someone can tell you what to do for the best though. Keep us updated & good luck.

I would quarantine. I was told (when the babies were delivered sick and in separate quarantine) to keep them at a constant temp (without night drops) and to keep the humidity at 60...and to bath them in saline baths once a day) this helps the immune system...but then they are red eyes...good luck. I hope they are okay.

Do you have a vet nearby that could see them tomorrow?

If they seem to be getting better on their own, it may be better to consult a vet before actually taking them along, the stress of taking out of tank, transporting (etc) might do more harm than good in the long run...

Sorry tenman, but I have to disagree with that. Even though it can be stressful, taking a chance when the holidays are coming would not be the best idea. If there is medicine that can help, the sooner the better. These are a more hardy frog, from my understanding, so the sooner the better...but then we are completly snowed in and if you are in bad weather do take a trip, please be careful. xx
