disease and captive bred

[dperrucc]

Approx.what % of captive bred frogs are disease free?

[Dane]

I've tested/treated all of the CB groups that I've owned in the past 4 years (probably close to 75 frogs total), and I'd say that about 25% were completely parasite free, 50% had hookworm, 20% had lungworm, 10% had coccidia, and another 10% had undocumented bacterial/fungal infections. Keep in mind that some frogs had more than one problem. Ironically, almost all of the FR animals that I've owned came in free of parasites, but I guess that's just a testament to the QT procedures of responsible importers like SNDF and Understory.
