Hey guys,
Im new to the dart frog scene and have taken this hobby on in place of my extremely sucessful (and expensive) reef tank hobby. I figured if i can grow coral and rare fish I should be comfortable with dart frogs. However, I have run into a recent problem with my first dart frogs. I purchased them a few days ago from the Herpetology lab here at Bowling Green State University and have noticed one of them is swollen looking. Its body looks as if its a balloon almost.
1. what can i do!!!
2. What caused this
3. Is this normal behavior since they may be stressed due to the new environment?
also they are very small...roughly the size of a quarter i would say...
