    The poop I see in his water dish from recently (could have been yesterday) is very very small, loose looking and green. I am very worried. His behavor seems mostly normal, except he won't eat. For a while he was not climbing up on his branches, but staying down at the bottom of his tank most of the time. That was unusual for him. Now he is back in his "favorite spot" again near the top, but still looks sick.

    I very badly want to take him to a vet, but I don't think I can find one near me. I will check that link you posted.

    Hope the link helps. Has he spent a lot of time in his water bowl? How big are the pieces of the coconut fiber?

    I don't think he is spending any more time in his water than usual.

    The coconut fiber pieces are very very small. Most of them really the size of pieces of dirt, a few sort hair like strands. The biggest "chunk" like pieces that I can see are maybe about 2 centimeters long. Pretty much it looks like this:

    (not my picture, just one I found really quick)

    I've been using it for years for all my terrarium animals, I thought it was safe.

    It is safe, I use it and it is fine. Just sometimes people buy larger chunky coir.

    That's good to know, thanks. =)

    I will try to get him to a vet, although the ones on that list that are in my state a still a ways away. It's not easy for me to do that, but I'm working on it.

    Thank you very much for your help thus far! I've just sort of jumped in here because the last forum I was at wasn't very nice to me and I was kind of panicking trying to find a new place that might help me some.

    Sorry about your experiences with other forums. What kind of water are you using?

    I can probably guess which one it is... they torment people for asking beginner questions and think you should be an expert if you want to keep a frog.
