Emergency Kit #4 (Wild-Caught Amphibians)
This kit is for testing wild caught amphibians for Parasites, Chytrid (Chytridiomycosis), and Ranavirus. Ranavirus and Chytrid Fungus are devastating amphibian populations worldwide. While 100% of our frogs are Captive Bred, there are many wild caught frogs on the market, many of which have not been properly quarantined, tested, or treated to ensure they are free of infection. Some captive bred amphibians are also infected when bred in contaminated facilities. While these frogs may be inexpensive, they may harbor ranavirus, chytrid, or parasites than can easily devastate your collection. Always ask for the source of your new frogs and if those you are purchasing were bred by the seller. Always research who you are buying from and only buy dart frogs from reputable companies and breeders. If you intend to purchase wild caught animals, ensure that you test these animals, treat any ailments according to your local veterinarian, and quarantine these animals in a sanitary enclosure (moistened paper towel changed daily in a clean tub) for a minimum of one month (3 months is optimal and recommended) before introducing them into their permanent enclosure.
