That almost sounds like a defensive stance. You know to warn predators that they are toxic by exposing their belly coloration. How often you you clean the water or do partial water changes to eliminate amonia buildup?

Large crickets may be too big. I would stick with small and medium.

You can get both at earth worms and red wigglers at Petsmart.

honestly i do a full change every week. i cleaned her water today. it looked kinda cloudy which was weird cause i had just changed it saterday.

i also got her some better rocks for her terrarium. the ones i had i got from walmart and they would keep sticking to her belly to stop that i had the frog moss. since i got her the brighter rocks she seems to notice the crickets better but she still hops away from them. as soon as one touches her she twitches and hops in the water.

i usually stick with the smaller crickets but when i got them most of them were way too small.

its weird tho she will like bend her head and back feet backwards she almost looked like a dried up corpse O_O but when i touch her she goes back to normal.

I'm not sure what's going on with her. At first I thought she may be having seizeures, but she wouldn't snap out of one just because you touched her. The description sounds like a defencesive posture or warning stance. I don know what she would be percieveing as a thrwat other than you and if you've had her for a while she should be used to you by now.

I'm just not sure.

i dunno. the 2 times she did it i wasnt in the room. even though i have 7 cats i only let in one and i always supervise the cat.

I hope someone with more experience with FBTs will be able to help otherwise you may have to take you frog to a herp vet.

[Nikoruscene]

man i hope it doesnt lead to that. i went to petsmart today tried to get her some food alternatives one was telling me to get blood worms and one said wax worms. im all confused to what other food to feed her.

A 60W daytime bulb might be too hot for a 10 gallon set-up.
You need light, no heat: fluorescent tube. Watertemp should be
70F max. Waterlevel is far too low, should be at least 5 inches!
Bombina are aquatic and should be kept that way.
Skip the declorinator, just leave a bucket of water alone for some 3
days before using it.

Celeste is doing okay. she ate 1 large cricket 5 days ago and 1 large cricket 3 days ago but she stopped again. i changed that bulb and instead im using just a regular light bulb that is i think 40w. ill be sure to add some more water now that i know that. what if i have hard water problems should i still use the declorinator?

[Nikoruscene]

i just added some more water. she didnt seem to like how deep it was. she swam straight to the shore.

ive been trying to feed her in a different tank with a drenched paper towel. when i try to feed her in her tank they keep drowning plus i keep having to take out her hut, tree, and drift wood just so that they dont climb all over her stuff where she cant find them.

shes also been hideing a lot is that normal?

She is probably hiding because of the light. Is the light brighter than the other one you had?

[Nikoruscene]

no not really. its about the same.

[GrifTheGreat]

no not really. its about the same.

Hmmm something is probably causing stress, but I'm not sure what.

Keep a close eye on her.

You will be better off using the de-chlorinator. Evaporation does not remove heavy metals and chloromines that will still poison your frog. It would be a very bad idea not to de-chlorinate you water. I suggest you keep doing so.
