    Default Bloated Pacman

    Hi everyone,
    I just noticed that my pacman looks a bit bloated tonight. His back legs are also sticking straight out. He may be a little lethargic as well! Please help! Thanks!

    Hm.. Don't know what that could be, but there are several lists (one of them may be on this site, idk) that have a list of frog diseases and symptoms. Try looking up one of those and see if anything matches what's going on with your frog.

    what is he eating, what substrate are you using, are you de-chlorinating his water and are you using tap or distilled water?

    He actually ate today and had a bowel movement as well today. Recently I have been feeding him crickets. As for water, I use bottled water, but recently I accidently used de-chlorinated tap water (which I use for some of my other frogs). He has coconut fiber as bedding.

    I actually haven't in a while. This could be the problem. I moved about a month and a half ago and have not found my frog supplements yet.

    The bloating could be a result of stress from the move? The leg issue very well could be a calcium deficiency. Start dusting his food asap and keep us updated on his condition!
