Help!!

...And As far as flushing a frog, Don't compare people to frogs..okay...

Using the word "flushing" to dispose of a dead pet suggests that you view it as, well, disposable. That's what people will read into it whether that's how you feel or not.

...today my frog prolapsed. he throw up something. and now he is fine. I have taken the bark out and I am working on modifying the tank. I will post pictures when I'm done.

What do you mean he "prolapsed" and now is fine? What exactly happened?


Are you gutloading your crickets prior to feeding? Dusting them?

I also agree that they need a larger tank. 10 gallons will be way too small for 3 tree frogs, and too small for even one adult.

You'll also find most people suggest not mixing species of frogs in the same tank, which I gather from your posts is what you have done. All frogs secrete some level of toxin as self defense, and this can build up in confined quarters and cause problems, even if the frogs can be found next to each other in the wild (extreme example is the pickerel frog, Rana palustris, which will kill off just about anything you put in the same water bucket even though they were side by side in a pond a few minutes earlier). I've seen more than one person say they've kept grays and greens successfully together over the years, but always in much roomier conditions so this isn't something I'd rule out as a potential issue.

Best of luck in any case.

Okay let see......Frogs are not disposable to me....I just flush them because...well..that's what I have always done.

He bloated up(so much you could see through him) and went belly up...thats when I thought he was died. then he flipped back up and acted fine, so I gave him some small crickets 'cause it had been 2-3 days since he had eaten. the next morning I went to check on him and he had thown his stomach up and was acting weird again. So I put same water in with him and it seemed to help a little. I little while later I looked in on him again and he was sitting still again looking fine. in the corner of the tank I spotted a small blob of something....I am thinking it was puke. He wasn't pooped since last friday. So I am thinking something it blocking him from being able to poop. when he started acting this way I took the bark out of the container the other two frogs are in. I would take him to the vet but I don't have enough money to. He is WC.....does that have anything to do with it? I don't want to just abandon him by setting him outside...he would be a perfect target for other animals... What should I do? When I first got him I wasn't planning on him getting sick!

1.) should always have a vet fund on hand
2.) He sounds like he is impacted from the bark, so I believe the only course of action would be vet visit.

Your frog is sick. Take it to a vet. Or, it may die . That's , that. Frogs are NOT disposable creatures !!

I've only been able to find references of pacman frogs having a stomach prolapse. That it's apparently reinserted itself is a good thing, but honestly this sounds like vet time. No one ever plans on their pet being sick but they still need to be prepared for it and to seek qualified help when needed.

You also need to give serious thought to how you are keeping your frogs. Proper nutrition and housing are so important, and I'm sure you don't want your other frogs falling ill as well.

Also, do you use any vitamin/calcium supplements?
