DISAPPEARING FROGS! DANGER FOR YOUR AFRICAN DWARF FROG!

Welcome to the African dwarf frog world. Free tips about keeping African Dwarf Frogs. Lots of info and more on African Dwarf Frogs, your home and family and pet home.

It has come to my attention that thee is a major threat to your African dwarf frog.
From what I can gather this is a threat to all frogs worldwide!!

The culprit is called the Chytrid fungus which is pronounced “kit-rid” and this fungus is affecting amphibians everywhere.

Apparently the fungus feeds on Keratin, which is a component of frog’s skin that makes it sturdy and tough.

I will be gathering more information to inform you in further posts.

In the meantime check your African dwarf frog for very bad looking skin which is one of the symptoms.
