Amphibians are not to be forgotten in the amazing groups of animals we see here at BBEVS. We commonly see axolotl and frogs and it is important to remember that every species of amphibian are very different from one another, just as a dog is different to a cat. The requirements needed to keep each species happy and healthy in our homes can vary considerably. Most of the diseases and disorders we see here at BBEVS are a result of these animals missing one or more crucial elements in their environment or diet. The basics of amphibian care include:
Amphibians, like our other exotic species, deal with disease and injury very differently to dogs and cats. Often we don’t notice the subtle signs of early illness and this means that by the time we notice they are unwell, disease can often be advanced. Please call us on 07 3420 6773 if you suspect your reptile is unwell and also follow the link to My Amphibian Is Unwell for further information. At this time we do not make aquarium visits. This page will explain how to transport your amphibian to BBEVS as well as additional requirements for the consultation.
