Hi everyone, I'm still new to keeping a Whites tree frog and I need some advice. I have recently started feeding my sub adult whites frog in a isolation tank to stop crickets nibbling on it's delicate skin. Tonight I noticed that he has a few little marks that I presume are the crix are nibbling on his skin. Any advice on how I can avoid this, is there any spray I Can use to speed up healing. He is really health and is growing well and is a nice bright green colour but I don't want the crix to bite him everytime I feed. Confused

Please help!!!

Only feed a couple of crickets or even offer them one at a time so they are eaten before having the chance to run and hide in the tank.
Any wounds on your frog should heal very quickly if kept clean.

Thank you for the advice will do that, Peabody is cleaned out everyday so hygiene won't be a problem. Very Happy
