Does this look normal/healthy?

[awelcome]

Sorry for the kind of gross subject... just wondering if this is a normal healthy dart poop. This is how they generally look though usually a bit more solid in color, and he goes most days that I have found (he likes to leave them right up front on the log or rock for me to whisk away). Pill shaped, and slightly firm which I know to be good signs, but what about this ombre effect? Dark on one end, redder in middle, and orangeish on the other end? Thanks... from a paranoid new frog owner lol. And I gotta say... I am quite surprised at how LARGE they are... the pet store person said they would be tiny. Oh and someday perhaps I will look at a fecal test, but for now I can't spend the extra money.

Yeah that is perfectly normal. Like in any animal or person you want it to be well formed and solid without being rock hard. I would say that looks like healthy frog poop to me.

Frog poop IS tiny, depends on what you compare it too :P

With that being your only frog and him not showing any signs that there is an issue I wouldn't go out and do a fecal test just for the fun of it. If he starts behaving oddly then you can whisk his poop away to have smarter people test it for nasty stuff.

You are very concerned for your frog and that is a good thing! To often people get a frog or reptile as a pet and don't pay enough attention to it to know what is normal and what isn't. With a little bit more experience and time you will be able to relax and enjoy your frog without any anxiety.

I love your threads because you're just as much a paranoid frog parent as I am hahaha
