Twisted Frog?

[vivalabam]

I'm currently away from my frogs, my OH is looking after them. He messaged me the other day saying King hasn't been eating. (he wasn't eating loads before I left, I thought it was due to the winter) I said try and up the humidity and keep an eye on the temperature.

He messaged me again today and said my frog is twisted. I thought he must be making it up, so I made him take some photos. Turns out he was right. What has happened here?! He was always a grade B, so his lip stuck out a bit, but he always ate fine. I can't see the icon to post photos so I'll just give you the links!

Looks as if his whole body is twisted to the side, he never used to be like that...

He is not twisted. He is dangerously underweight. It would appear that your frog is starving to death. You need to seek treatment NOW! He needs avet trip. Also he may have to be force fed. How long has it been since he has eaten anything?

There is no vets near me that treat frogs... Not sure, he was eating when I left him 2 weeks ago, not a lot, but he was eating.

What's made him stop? Temps are 85 hot end and 80 in the cool end. I spray him twice a day, substrate is always damp.

85 is too hot for a baby. Babies and juviniles need day temps to be 80 to 82 and night time temps 75 to 79 humidity must stay 70 to 80% at all times. Do you de-chlorinate your frogs water and do you dust his food with calcium and a multivitamin? What have you been feeding him?

[vivalabam]

Well it's probably about 84, his thermostat is set at 84 and it's normally always on, so the temperature does stay above 80.

I do, and I do, I dust with D3 once week, calcium once a week and multivitamin once a week.

Crickets, it's the only thing he will eat, he has never been a good feeder because of his wonky mouth. He went through a stage where he ate fine for a few weeks, then it was back to not eating...

Try earthworm pieces. He is starving to death and I do see some scoliosis (twisted spine) as well. Where did you get this frog? Just curious as to who is selling them and also to who is breeding them.
