    They don't do a lot moveing, sit and wait is what they pretty much do. If he looks fat and you think its because he has to go to the bathroom you can give him a honey bath and it pretty much acts like a laxative. Heres what to do, put about 3 to 4 drops of pure honey into a warm bath of declorinated water no higher then his chin and let it dissolve. Let him sit in this for about 20 mins in dark quiet room and you could put a towel over the top of your bathing container to help hold heat in. After about 20 mins in this bath give another bath of just normal warm declorinated water no higher then the chin to rinse the honey residue off of him. He may go in one of the baths or he may wait till he gets back into his enclosure but it usually does the trick. If it doesn't work the first night you can repeat the next.

    He can't be that big if he's in that size of tank, so I'd imagine it's a baby and therefore needs to be fed daily. You'll also need to feed it more than that, my frog will usually eat 4-6 crickets but just feed the frog as much as it will eat and remove excess. Remember to supplement, it is very important when they're young. All food should be coated and if you don't feed enough food, the frog won't get enough calcium and vitamins from supplements.

    If he looks fat and not pooping he may be having problems digesting, are you keeping him warm enough? Day time temps between 78-84F are ideal and night time temps no lower than 70F

    They won't do much especially during the day, horned frogs are nocturnal and you can view them at night using special night light LEDs or bulbs.
