Sick Frog?

[xXPinkFlamingo]

Hey everyone, I can't figure out what is wrong with Fatty. Since I got her almost a month ago she hides in the back rarely moves - though she can if she wants - and her pupils are restricted and always have been. I can't figure out what is wrong with her, I have never seen her pupils look "normal", they always look like pin pricks, and she doesn't eat much. Any ideas?

Well, I have no experience with FBTs, but I do with American Toads, so my two cents would be:

Take "Fatty" out of his normal tank, and put him in a smaller tank where he can hide more easily, and does not have the stress of the other two (if he is sick).

Try a dry bath tub or something similar to that, where he can hop around in the light, on a bright surface, then feed him cricket by cricket, and see how much he eats, maybe try other foods, such as worms.

Monitor his food intake, and compare it to your other FBTs, from there you can judge if he's eating normal or not.

That's my input, sorry I don't know more, but I'm sure someone on this great forum will chime in, and help you out!

Best of luck!

All the frogs run around and go nuts when i put in crickets or meal worms, however Fatty doesn't even move from her spot...she never really has. I have tried putting food right in front of her and she doesn't care. I think in the past week she has eaten one small mealworm and one very small cricket compared to the other three who will eat as much as you give them. I have tried pulling her out and putting her in a container with worms or crickets and all she does is try and climb out, could care less when the crickets or worms are in front of her or climbing on her back. I just feel so bad for her, could I try Zilla Jump-Start?

Try the bath tub with roughly an inch of luke-warm in it, then drop cut up worms in the water, being an a HUGE tube, she won't be thing about escape as much, and being in her element (water) and seeing the worms moving under the surface, she might grab them, you could also try very small minnows or fish, like guppies.
