Bloated Xenopus Laevis

These are not just fat frogs - it is not that they are packing on the pounds and sitting around watching a lot of cable TV.

These frogs have a disease. In my opinion, you have been posting around elsewhere hoping someone would give you an answer you liked, rather than the answers you need.

I feel quite strongly, and I think other members would also, that if these were my frogs, I wouldn't hesitate to try any solution given to me...even on the chance that it MIGHT help. I would be trying to help them as fast as I was capable.

Considering you originally posted this 3 full months ago when the frogs were already very bloated which means they have been bloated from a considerable time before your original post, I do not have a lot of faith for their outcome.

Epson salt baths are extremely easy to do and have been very successful in treating many frogs on this forum including one of my own.

Exactly what I was thinking. You've been given good advice on this forum, so I don't understand why you don't use it for your animals advantage.

I'll start treating my frogs. I'll search where to buy epsom salt in France. I would give you some news.

I finally received my Epsom salt today ! I did a salt bath at my two larger frogs. Bath for 15 minutes a liter of water, a teaspoon of salt.

I wonder if I need again baths, and when. And when will I see improvement ?

Thank you very much.
