Couldn't phone the Vet, so the fecal may have to wait a little unfortunately.
However, I'm going to conduct some tests. I'm going to see if I can get the water clear again, by avoiding disturbing...
Quick Update:
Got a fecal sample ready, will be dropping it off on Thursday if all goes as planned. Moved Aleksis out of quarantine afterwards because I obtained what I needed. Fecal was of the...
Aleksis, one of my firebelly toads, has been acting extremely skittish as of the last three months. He also lost weight rapidly in the last month, and although he regained it a week ago thanks to a...
Something has been up with one of my Firebelly Toads, Aleksis, for the two or so months. In between the time I introduced Dimitri to the tank and when I introduced Rosa to the tank, Aleksis has been...
Came home from school and found Thermidor has passed on. Rest in Peace.
I think this was simply a case of old age. I have no idea of what his age was, and the slow way he deteriorated just...
Well, Thermidor hasn't eaten at all this week. He seems to slowly move around his tank every so often and then just sleep. However, he is a good size right now, which is a positive. But I definitely...
Gonna add on in that Thermidor did try and lunge at a cricket a day or two back, but couldn't pull it into his mouth. His tongue just kinda sat there, so I don't know what's going on with that. At...
Sorry for lack of responses, been sick and lots of homework too.
Quick Update:
Thermidor's condition seems to get better and worse in alternation. Some days he's a brown color, motionless with...
Possibly. That'd explain Thermidor's sudden refusal to eat. And I'm not entirely sure if Levi ate last night, either. However, in past years they have eaten during winter so I'm not sure if this is...
Update:
Good news. I caught Thermidor shedding yesterday and managed to sneak three crickets into his mouth (One undusted, two dusted with freshly bought Vitamin Mix). Nearly got a small earthworm...
Well, on Friday I went to the Pet shop to get some more vitamin dusting and water conditioner, and as usual checked out all the animals and fish they had in store. And when I looked in the Firebelly...
Well, Levi's back to eating normally. Still as fat as ever too :p fed him an earthworm the other day and he gobbled it right up in a split second. So, it may have been a size issue. Who knows.
...
Agreed with Ryan, googled the species and it looks exactly like it. Good point on the identification, too. I know plenty of frogs often simply called 'Green Frogs'.
Are you planning to keep it,...
I feed all my frogs every other day, but Thermidor's Short Tongue Syndrome isn't going away, despite the constant multi vitamin dusted feedings, so I'm not sure. He's still capable of eating...
Well, after several weeks, Thermidor is still around and kicking. He's not really increased in weight or decreased, rather kept a moderately skinny-ish weight overall. He's also been producing firm...
Thank you, Tobias! :D
And, so am I Carlos ;)
Oh and since some of the photos glitched, I'll repost them here:

Sorry I haven't posted until now, been busy. Lotta homework these days, and I've got a notoriously terrible memory.
Anyhow, talked to the Vet, and since it's actually illegal to keep Pacific...
Just got the results of the fecal back, and it turns out it's negative :eek: so either a bacterial infection or Chytrid, I'm assuming...
I'll consult the Vet tomorrow and hear his opinion. In the...
Alright. I've dealt with protozoa before, 2 years ago with Bumpy, so if it is that chances are it won't be too difficult to deal with.
Update:
Thermidor produced a firm but a little...
Update:
Going to consult the Vet tomorrow, and hear his opinion. Hopefully, I'll be able to get Thermidor on some medications soon enough.
As for Thermidor, his tongue is getting better every...
I think there was some confusion towards my last post, I'll just clarify a little. (No worries on it, though. I totally understand if you made a few errors whilst replying early in the morning -- I'm...
I'll try and see if I can get some Vitamin A when I consult the Vet soon.
Update:
Just placed Thermidor in quarantine, a 5 gallon. I have another that I'm going to set up tomorrow for Levi. As...
Agreed. It's pretty solid that it's one of the two. I'll start by preparing a quarantine tank tomorrow, and since I'm getting new substrate tomorrow as well, I'll clean out his old tank entirely....
This all started a while back, at around August 21st. I'd just gotten back from my 4 week vacation to England. Whilst I was gone, I had one of my friends come in, feed the frogs, and change their...
Agreed, Ryan :D they're definitely very fun to keep and just so cute :) and you're right, Joey. I've found each one is their own character with their own personality, traits, and quirks.
