    It could simply be she is constipated. Try the honey soak and let us know how she does. One more thing.....try to get the humidity up higher. If she just ate a day ago, she is digesting what she's eaten. The warm honey soak should do the trick. Just a drop of honey in warm water. Make sure your bottled water is NOT distilled water.

    Sorry!!! Got my posts mixed up!!
    Okay.....please include a picture of the frog if possible. The loss of the use of the leg could be related to stress, injury, or could even be genetic issues. We need a picture to get a better idea.

    Again, sorry about getting mixed up!!

    Definitely raise the humidity and post a pic. Is the 5.5 gallon a plastic critter keeper or glass tank?

    I don't have any advice for the leg, but if you have a glass tank with a screen lid, you can put plastic wrap around part of the lid (about 2/3) to help keep in humidity. Try not to put it on air-tight though. It should still help keep things humid even if it's a little bit loose.

    Try and offer her pieces of night crawler. no longer than 1". These pieces you can lay close to her and they can't run away so if she will eat them they will be easy prey and your worries about her eating will be over for now. Hopefully as she matures the leg will regain mobility.

    We can't predict anything about the leg Sweetie. It may just be an injury. But we are not vets that have examined the frog, so all we can do is speculate. If the frogs is active & eating well and passing waste well, then it should hopefully be fine.
