    Default Leg out of socket?

    We noticed our pacman frog's left back leg looks like it could be out of socket but we're not sure. He can still hop on it but when he sits still the joint of his back leg flops outwards, unlike the other side which is in the normal bent/crouched position. Anyone ever encounter this problem before? I can't seem to find any information online. Is this something a vet would even be able to fix?

    Post some photos.

    If it really is a dislocated hip then your frog will have to be taken to a vet to have it placed back. Its not safe to try on your own.
