Prevention
for keepers
8Chytrid
is a cool climate pathogen - infections are possible
whenever the max temp is below 27 deg - at
those times:
êgive all your frogs a
betadine bath for five minutes every few
days (1 part per 100 dilution) as a
preventative
êuse new disposable
gloves for each frog
êavoid froggy field
trips during this time
êavoid transfering
stock during winter but if you must, give those
frogs the betadine bath every day for at least a week
before transfering
êif you are receiving
frogs, keep separate from other frogs, give
them the daily betadine bath for two weeks after
arrival; use gloves to handle
