Treating Chytrid Fungus.

[Ed Clark]

I strongly suggest treating all frogs including captive bred also as chytrid fungus has tremendous potential to have a major effect on all frogs wild as well as captive.

Heres a simple mix that I use on ALL frogs.

Lamisil AT spray pump.
5 squirts in 100 ml of water.

Soak frog in mix 5 minutes every day for 10 days.

Clean cage throughly every day before putting the frog back in. use a weak bleach water mix to disinfect the cage.

A treatment like this will show positive results such as stronger feeding responce and brighter colors.

Its as easy as soaking a frog in a plastic deli cup or a small critter keeper.

I have 3 different sizes of critter keepers that I use to quarantine frogs that are being treated.

Very simple set up, paper towel on bottom that gets changed every day when they are being treated.

While the frogs are soaking the critter keeper is also soaking in a tub of bleach water to disinfect it.

Water bowels are also soaking to disinfect them.

It really is worth the effort especially hearing that happy healthy frog calling!
