    I don't blame them for flagging it!! It's wrong on so many levels.. Now the vids I watched of the pacman, the person was just putting thier finger up to the glass and apparently this little frog seemed to get really upset about it!! I didn't know frogs had teeth..

    Yep. Even your Whites have teeth. There is a post on the forum in the Pacman frog section called "Teeth". You should take a look at it. Has photos of Pacman frog teeth.

    You might want to try worms. They're alittle easier for her to swallow. They can be very difficult when you're trying to force feed them. Ofcourse non of us would like our mouths forced open and food shoved in either. You feed her during her normal feeding time right?

    Just read your whole thread and imagine what your frog and yourself have gone through. Hang in there and good luck; hope frog recovers soon!
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Thank you.. We are sticking strictly to the regimen of cleaning, putting the ointment on the wound, forcing meds and crickets, and monitoring humidity and temperature levels (which is hard to do with brown paper towels as a substrate!!) and she is putting up with it pretty decently considering.

    I agree with the trying the worms (earthworms/night crawlers) over crickets. I think they will be easier to feed and be a bit easier to digest for what your froggy is going through right now. You can cut them up into pieces to make it easier. What medications are you giving? If they are ones that are injectable that you draw up with a needle and syringe then give orally (without the needle), you can inject it into the worm to make things easier for you. If it is just a regular liquid oral solution, it doesn't work.
