Bloated Milk frog

[brandongalea]

Hi, I just bought 3 milk frogs, I did a big mistake and used R/O water in their bowl.

As a substrate I use Sphagnum moss, and the temperature is at 23 - 24 degrees celsius.

Recently one of the milks got really bloated, and is having spasms. Can anyone identify some causes for this bloat, should I quarantine the frog and spot clean the enclosure? Is there anything I can do to restore my Milk frog's health.

Please find a pic of my bloated milk compared to another milk frog.

I can't type much now, but I can tell you that you're feeding them way too large crickets. They should not be larger than the width between the frogs eyes. That cricket look likes it's 3 times that size... This could be the cause of the poor frog's condition.

Don't mind the cricket, that's a one off that has been hidden and decided to pop out for the photo.

The frog died this morning. I was thinking the bloat was due to the sudden drop in the temperature.

Their faeces are normal.

Thanks mim, A friend of mine told me that it could have caught a "cold".
