    Default Strange things in ornate horned frog's poop...

    I was worried my frog may be impacted since it hasn't had a bowel movement since i got it, about 10 days ago. I read that you can bath a frog in warm water to help this issue, so I gave it a try. It worked, although it was not a very good size for a poop. When i first bought the frog, he went in his travel cage... THAT was a big one!
    Anyhow, i noticed hundreds of tiny white things floating on the bottom of the container. They don't look like any parasite I have ever seen, and thought they could possibly be cricket eggs. They all are the same size, at approximately 1.5mm in length.

    Here is my best attempt at taking a picture, in the hopes that someone here can identify it.

    If your frog ate a gravid female cricket, it's eggs would not survive your frog's digestive system.
