I was talking to some people on the r/frogs subreddit and they told me to check for red leg disease. His legs are slightly red on the underside but mostly white(it just looks slightly shaded not like a broken blood vessel which i was told), but I have not checked him during the day in fear of stressing him out more. I'll check him more thoroughly tomorrow. Also it seems my hygrometer may have been faulty which could have caused all this.
Yeah check for that. Might be worth cleaning the tank and make sure on that 85f basking spot. Knew it would be, hygrometers usually are. Use them as a rough idea but also use your eyes to see that it is not too wet.
Ok i'm working on the basking spot now, I set up as 81 f atm at the top of a branch. I'm slowly creeping the temperature up until I get it around 85. and then I will mark that spot on the dimmer. Also the frog seems a bit better today, he is sleeping in the log hide. This may be because i removed the moss though due to someone saying the moss could cause impaction. Also got a zoomed hygrometer and it seems more accurate than the flunkers one (it was 60% after 6 hours in the salt test).
Good stuff It really depends on what moss you're using, some patches of high quality sphagnum are fine but I wouldn't cover the whole floor.
Possibly some bad news, he is still using the hide but stays on the low side, he seems more still during the nights only really sitting up and not climbing like he did before. He is still breathing and he will be alert when woken just won't move much. Also when I tried to feed him he would not hunt or eat but I did do it inside the tank I did not want to stress him by moving him out. He may be slightly constipated I have only seen him go once maybe twice. I can take him out and put him in a feeding tank if that will help. Any advice would be appreciated.
How's your frog doing now?
