Quarantine ADF?

[Louise02]

Should ADF be quarantined?  If so, how is it done?

I quarantined my ADF for 30 days. They were very small when I got the so I put all 4 in a 5 g tank. The tank had sand so they could get traction and make hunting easier on them. I used lots of plants and nooks and crannies so they could wedge themselves in to feel safe. 
It took about 3 days for them to become visible and very active so they were easy to monitor. 
 

Im certain you were looking more for info on preventative medication and such, however there is not a lot of information on medication and ADF. I also do not use preventive meds. 
 

Mine were so thin they were just shy of emaciated when I got them. They plumped up in under a week so I was pretty certain there were no parasites. Their behavior was very outgoing and not fearful and I saw no visible signs of illness. 
 

I felt comfortable at that point to move them to their forever home.

Just in case anyone did need to treat there ADF general cure is safe to use it treats parasitic infections and some skin infections on ADF frogs  tetracycline based antibiotic such as maracyn2 active ingredient is minocycline are also safe use with ADF
