    It is possible that a piece of moss could have remained in her digestive tract, but most likely she would have passed it by now. Pinkies can cause constipation too, which is another reason why they are to be fed sparingly. When you feed a pinky, wait at least a couple of days before feeding again.

    Bump the temps up. Day time temps should be 80-82 for juveniles and 80-85 for adults. Warmer temperatures are vital to aiding proper digestion. Also, give her a 5-10 minute soak in lukewarm de-chlorinated water. You can add a couple of drops of honey to the water as well. Soaks are great for helping bowel movements along. If your frog is close to pooing she will have a hard spot low on her right side (towards her vent. If you feel a hard spot there, you can Gently massage the spot with your finger. Good Luck!

    All right. Thanks for the advice. That's the strange thing! I can feel it there; have been able to for a little bit. I'll try to get things nice and toasty in the enclosure, keep soaking, and try out the massage.

    Also make sure the water is no deeper than up to your frogs chin. It needs to be atleast below the chin. The water should cover the frogs vent. You must be very gentle when massaging as their internal organs can be damaged easily.

    Keep us posted.
