[edit] Dead frog

This is in response to your frog, the talk page isn't the best place to discuss it, as it is meant for discussion of the article.

You have to give more information, and a picture would be best. Is the frog discoloured in any way? How is the other frog? What position did it die? How was its appetite before death? You need to remove the Green Tree Frog from its vivarium, and give the enclosure a really thorough clean. There is a virus in the US called ranavirus which can be in the frog from the egg, and show absolutely no symptoms, until they are stressed in some way, when they just die suddenly. I think if this is the case, they still look alive, but are not. I would talk to the breeders who supplied you, as this is not something which should be taken lightly. Spreading diseases through pet populations spreads it through wild populations. Good luck. --liquidGhoul 00:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Spots are symptoms for many things, and I would need to see them (photo) for any chance of ID. The death sounds very similar to ranavirus. I don't know much of this disease, as it is not in my country, but if your other frog has it, it won't show any symptoms unless it is stressed. The best thing you can do is to keep it happy and not stress it out. Also, I would advise against buying any more frogs until the last one dies, as there is no cure, and you would be perpetually passing it on to the new frogs. Also, if you do get another frog after the green tree frog, you need to clean it out with a virus killing agent. I don't know what, you would need to look it up. Hope I am wrong, but it is not always good news. --liquidGhoul 06:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Redleg is not ranavirus, they are two completely different diseases. --liquidGhoul 22:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Green Tree Frog Care

Please don't remove other people's Talk page comments. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I see nothing offensive about it. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't know how to do that. Sorry. User:Zoe|(talk) 00:22, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

To move it to WikiHow, you can only need to copy and paste. Sorry if you took offense, but it is something which annoys me a lot, as the lives and health of animals are at risk. Since frogs are harder to care for than most pets, it is especially important that people get the correct info, and that can only be through experts in the field (and hence the need to cite your sources). I have seen too much very wrong advice to take it lightly. --liquidGhoul 00:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for understanding. I will delete the article now. Just as a note, could you leave messages on my talk page instead of my user page. When you click on my name, click disucussion at the top, then when you edit that page, the banner goes across the top of the page saying I have a message. Thanks. --liquidGhoul 23:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
