Glad he is ok.

Hornworms are more of a treat food. They are extremely filling so try not to feed him too many. They are very nutritious though so you could feed them to your frog every week. So maybe 2 a week. Rotate them with his staple. Earth worms are very nutritious as well and easy to digest. They make an excellet staple.

Thanks for the advice <3

I slowed down on the horn worms and have been feeding him earth worms.
OMG he like doubled in size since I got him o.o
The past few days he hasn't been eating though :c Should I be worried? Today is day 3.
I even offered him a dubia. D:
How can I tell if he's impacted? I saw him accidentally eat some substrate a few times.

Are you using Eco Earth or Plantation soil? If so he should be fine. How long has it been since he pooped? If you are worried about him being slightly constipated you can soak him in a luke warm bath of de-chlorinated water with 3 to 4 drops of honey disolved in the water. Soak him for 10 to 15 minutes. He may still be full from the Hornworms and earthworms.

Try this and keep me posted.

Why can't I see the pictures ?
I only see a square in which it is written "This image orvideo has been moved or deleted".

Grif: I'll give that a try today. :3

GRAB: I moved them to an album on photo bucket. If you wanna see his adorable photos you can check them out here Hypnotic pictures by myballbackoffgrr - Photobucket lol

So an update.
I soaked him/her today.
He was sitting in the water when I noticed loose skin.
I think he was shedding. :O
Once the shed came off he ate a nice juicy worm. (Pics below)
Since he/she is a baby should I soak him like once a week to help with any shedding that may occur?
When will I start to know the gender? I mean he's growing like a weed so it's making me think girl but Idk it's my first frog. lol

Shed:

How pretty eating his worm? (I just fed him in the water Idk if thats okay? It wasn't to deep on that side

[GrifTheGreat]

You won't know until 5.5 months to 8 months of age. He/she looks good. Keep up the good work.

What does the sound of a male sound like?
Like are there any youtube videos?
Cause lately I've been hearing a weird noise and I'm not sure if it's him or my red eyed crocodile skink or maybe my hedgehog. o.O

Well, here's my little Twiggy all healed up minus some lovely blue scars.

Sometimes all you need is some patience, time, a 'sterile' (within proper frog requirements) environment, and basic first-aide frog care.

Twiggy had lived with geckos at a local pet store when I saved him. He had several abrasions when I brought him home.

I boiled regular tap water and dechlorinated all of his water for misting, substrate, and his water bowl. I also boiled his water bowl and house decor. And, of course, allowed it to cool.

Each day I sprayed the tank down, wiped with paper towels until squeaky clean and dry, and resprayed/misted, and washed his water bowl daily with the boiled dechlor water. Then placed new paper towel substrate.

I used a sterile Qtip to apply original neosporin (without the pain reliever, as that type is toxic to frogs), to only the wounds, then very gently misted over him allowing the mist to fall atop of him (not spray him).

He would not eat so I did 1:10 unflavored (plain) pedialyte to water (as prepared above) soak for a few days and also moistened a paper towel in the diluted pedialyte solution to pick him up with.

I would gently force feed him daily either a cricket or small dubia roach. I would remove the heads of both and the legs of the crickets. I continued to dust with calcium/vita D3 powder every other day and herptivite multivitamin powder every Sunday. I pick him up with the warm moistened paper towel for his feeding, rather than my hands. At first he would get anxious and try to jump out. He now just let's me pick him up and just looks at me. I talk to him very calmly & quietly throughout the process.

He still does not eat on his own but his wounds have healed, he has gained back his weight, started croaking/calling again, and hops around at night .

My only hope now is that he will start eating on his own again.

Either way, I love my little baby and will continue to give the extra TLC he needs.

Oh, I no longer boil his water or use the neosporin as his wounds have healed up. He is also on normal Eco earth substrate again and has live plants.

His healing process took about one month to the best of my memory.

Here are some pics of my special baby .



Oops! I got busted sneaking photos... Lol

You can his healed wounds here...

Oh my goodness, I meant to post this in it's own post on tree frogs. I accidentally linked it to your post when my Tapatalk froze and then unfroze. I will move it later tonight when I get on the pc, as I can't from this crazy app. Sorry about that :/.

Lol! I was wondering what was going on.

[Heatheranne]

Lol! My Tapatalk froze on the picture upload. Froze my whole iPhone, so I shut it down and restarted it. I thought I lost my post. When I hopped back on I was reading this post and it popped up and said want to continue so I said yes, thinking it was still in the proper place...nope! Crazy phone. I didn't go onto the pc tonight so I'll delete it tomorrow. Der! Lol!

Please pardon my stupidity, lol :/.
