Ok so I picked up 4 azureas last year and had them about a year temp and humidity has always been perfect but over the last couple days the have started looking a little skinny today I came
Home two were dead I put the third and fourth in two isolation tanks one looks horrible the other looks like it might be ok I'm worried about parasites and I can't take it to any vet around here and if I send the decals to frye I'm
Afraid they will die before then what should I do? And can parasites be the problem and if so can they jump from
Tank to tank? I have 5 other species of tincs all in there own enclosures I'm afraid of it spreading ;,( someone help fast ;(

1. How long have you had the frog(s) and where did you acquire them ?
2. What are your Temperatures -Day and Night - Highs and lows ? Are you lights too hot ?
3. What is the Humidity like ? - Percentage or guesstimate. What type of Water are you using ? Describe your tank/enclosure and it's lid or top.
4. What kind of food are you providing, how much and are you dusting it ? What superfine powdered supplements are you using and are they fresh ?
5. Any other animals in the enclosure currently or recently ? Tankmates / other frogs ?
6. Any type of behaviour you would consider 'odd' ?
7. Have you handled or touched the frogs recently ? Any cleansers, paint, perfumes, bug sprays ect near the tank ?
8. Can you take pictures of EVERYTHING ? The frogs, the enclosure ? Take numerous pics of everything - that will be of great help.

So these are 'Froglets' ?
What kind of FF are you feeding ? Hydei ? Melanogaster ? Is your Rapashy fresh ? I'd buy a new batch regardless, for peace of mind.
No glue or silicone fumes ? Paint ? Anything inorganic in the viv that could give off fumes or otherwise be toxic?
Offhand, unless you trust who you got them from 100% - I'd say they could have disease, parasite load or were not 'strong' animals.
Take the normal /established precautions with the rest of your collection to limit cross contamination ect.

This is your video / animals ?

If so, it looks like there are Gecko vivariums below the frogs on the same Bakers Rack system ? If so, I would also be concerned about possible cross contamination from the lizards to the frogs (and vice versa).
