    Re: Emaciated ACF

    I have not tried nightcrawlers...do you think I'll be able to find them this time of year? We don't really have bait shops, but there is a local outdoor store that usually sells them. My only concern...

    She does eat, very well in fact, she's just not gaining any weight.

    Re: Emaciated ACF

    She eats reptomin sticks. I change about 50% of the water once a week with a siphon, making sure to suck out any poo/old food/shed skin (like I said she's been shedding a lot so there is quite a bit...

    Emaciated ACF

    So the saga with Ruby continues. In early September Ruby bloated, it took about two weeks for the bloat to go away and for her to return to normal physically and start eating. She didn't eat at all...

    I am trying to save my frog who recently "recovered" from bloat after treatment with maracyn II and is now extremely thin despite eating plenty and is having some balance/swimming issues. I have...

    Re: Ruby (ACF) is bloated

    I never ended up re-treating Ruby or treating Moe. I wasn't able to get to the store right away and Ruby's bloating disappeared and I haven't noticed Moe kicking at himself so much, though I still...

    Re: Ruby (ACF) is bloated

    Just wanted to give an update. Ruby is doing really well. A week ago I really thought I was going to lose her but she's nearly back to normal. I have not run a second round of antibiotics on her yet...

    Re: Ruby (ACF) is bloated

    I haven't added any salt at this point because I haven't seen it mentioned on any websites I've gone to, so I'm a bit concerned about it's safety.

    Re: Ruby (ACF) is bloated

    Ruby ate half a reptomin stick today. It's the first she's been able to eat since she bloated so I'm pretty excited and cautiously optimistic.


    What antibiotic should I use on my male? Are his...

    Now I'm also having issues with my male frog. He keeps acting as though he's shedding his skin, you know the whole swimming erratically like he's seizing, kicking at his body then shoving his hands...

    Re: Ruby (ACF) is bloated

    I haven't started the second round of antibiotics yet, I only bought enough for one treatment so I'll have to go back to the store. That said I'm not entirely sure she needs more meds. Her bloat is...

    Re: Ruby (ACF) is bloated

    I'm really concerned about her right now. She keeps wanting to float on her back. I put her in a salt bath to try and get the swelling down in her legs. The water is shallow in the bath, only a few...

    Re: Ruby (ACF) is bloated

    The meds say you can repeat it once. If that doesn't work should I try a different antibiotic? She really does look much better physically but behaviorally she seems a little worse. I wonder if...

    Sorry to drop off the face of the Earth like that. She finished her antibiotics a few days ago so I put her back in the main tank but she didn't look any better and was still acting pretty lethargic....

    She doesn't physically look less bloated to me but she isn't floating and was in a horizontal position on the bottom today. She was also a little more lively when I went to catch her for her salt...

    I put her in a ten gallon yesterday and got the antibiotics (Maracyn II) today and just put the first dose in. Since her salt bath yesterday she hasn't been floating, now she's sitting at the bottom...

    Re: Ruby (ACF) is bloated

    I have not been able to go to the store yet, I don't have a car. When my dad gets home from work I'll ask him to bring me to the store that used to sell it, hopefully they still do!

    Re: Ruby (ACF) is bloated

    Took some photos. Her skin seems to be getting progressively worse since I started the salt baths, it's hanging off of her and she can't shed properly. Now it seems she's got a little sore forming on...

    Ruby (ACF) is bloated

    Ruby, one of my ACFs, has bloated. I recently took on more hours at work and started slacking on water changes which I assume is to blame, I feel horrible. I've done one salt bath (1 gallon of water,...

    Re: What would cause "dwarfed" ACFs?

    I wanted to add to this question a bit, since it may go along with their smallness. So I've had my frogs since 2010 and they have never laid eggs. They amplex maybe once a week and Moe calls most...

    Re: frog spazing out

    I rewatched and saw you also have a bloated frog in there, what sort of kit are you using to test your water and how often are you doing water changes?

    That doesn't look good at all. Can you move her to a smaller (shallower) tank or large tupperware container (with a lid that has some holes cut out), I'm concerned she may end up having trouble...
