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.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Returns
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.
