    Default Dwarf pixie frog threw up stomach?

    i went to check on bowser earlier and he was floating upside down in his water bowl. All of his temperatures and humidity are the same as when I got him over three years ago and he eats mainly night crawlers and small mice every now and then. It looks like he threw up his stomach, if anyone has an idea as to what could have caused this I would appreciate it.

    Do you feed him live mice? If so it could have dug back out if it didn't die.... or that would be what I In would have thought? Could be wrong, but that is a story I ones heard.

    no, he only eats prekilled and from what Ive read it could have been that what he ate was bad or poisonous but he ate almost a week ago do you know if it could have still affected him?

    What you describing sounds like gastric prolapse, it happens when the food can not be digested in a stomach, very similar to when we vomit. The reasons can be different : the food item is too big, the food is bad or there is infection going on or it could have been any combination of the above. Husbandry could have had influence too if it is too dry or too cold.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
