Dissolve solids in 1/2 gallon distilled water.
Frogs are hypertonic (contain more dissolved salts in body fluids) compared to their environment. They must actively counter osmotic pressure to maintain proper osmolarity and this requires energy. Soaking a sick or weakened frog in isotonic Ringer’s solution enables them to spend their energy instead on getting well. Bloat results from a failure to osmoregulate, and ringer solution is thus an effective treatment for bloat. Conversely, it is used to rehydrate frogs (eg: escapees!). Soak frog in solution for 1-3 hrs and repeat as needed. Solution is stable indefinitely at room temp if kept sterile. Discard if particulates or growth is evident.

You are welcome to pick up orders in Hilltown, PA or at a show. Simply select pickup under shipping options. We ship orders anywhere in the contiguous United States.
Orders are typically shipped within 1-2 business days of receipt. The shipping we charge is what that carrier charges us. We recognize that this makes our shipping charges higher than other's, but we trust it is offset by the ubiquitous low prices of our products. We prefer not to role shipping costs into the prices of our products as that effects all customers regardless of their shipping needs.

Your privacy and security of any supplied information is very important to us. Please see our detailed policy here.
Your satisfaction is our top priority. We guarantee your full satisfaction with all orders as well as healthy arrival of frogs, geckos and other live items (insects, isopods, plants, etc) if ordered with required shipping times. Please contact us by email at support@frogsnthings.com to request a return. In the event products arrive damaged or unhealthy, please photo-document the problem immediately upon receipt and notify us by email. Photo documentation of frogs/geckos that arrive unhealthy or deceased must be supplied within 2 hrs of delivery confirmation. We will gladly send you either a replacement or full refund at our discretion. Replacement shipping is free up until the original order total. Because of the sensitivity of dart frogs to their environment, we cannot provide a blanket guarantee on their long-term health. However, we encourage you to contact us if you have any issues proximal to receipt. We take pride in our business ethics and in your satisfaction, and will stand behind our animals if there is no reason to suspect issues outside of our control.
For pick up orders, we accept cash or credit card in person, or you can pay online in advance if you prefer. Simply check your preference during checkout.
