    Unhappy WTf not pooping Help PLEASE

    Help! My WTF is NOT pooping it has been 6 days since he last pooped on last tuesday. It is nearly impossible to give him luke warm water baths because I can't even get ahold of him and my water does not adjust very fast and I do not want to send the poor little guy in shock. What can I do?

    Is he eating but not pooping? He may be impacted. Can you mist him with warm water then? Sometimes that helps.

    He is eating very good but not pooping. I don't know how he could get impacted the only substrate I have in my bib is coco fiber

    What are you feeding him? He may have bit off more than he could chew so to speak.

    Kallee,
    What are you feeding him?

    You could warm the water ( slightly ) under a light bulb first.
    Then soak him in a container with a lid and air holes- right in his viv.

    Have you really looked threw the tank for poop? My Azy has been berrying her lately for some odd reason. I found 4 days worth yesterday when I took everything out and dug around a bit. @.@ How dirty is the water dish in the morning? If hes pooping in there then its dissolved and looks just like dirt by morning.

    If all of that is ok then try having a large cup of dechloinated water that you've warmed in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Take room temp dechlorinated water and put a little into a cup that has a top you can put air holes in and place your frog in that then slowly add the warmed water. If you've let the cup you microwaved sit while you caught the frog and put it in the cup then the water should have cooled enough that it shouldn't shock them.

    BlueisallIneed (another member) has also said gently massaging there sides while in the warm water can entice them to go.

    If you cant get him to go in the next day or two I would get a hold of herp vet and get him in. They can prescribe something like a laxative that will help.

    I hope your little one gets better soon.

    I just came across this post too. I would definitely make him do the soaks. Put him in a hospital tank with just some paper towels. Just let him soak and watch for another day or two. If he doesn't pass anything within a day or too you will have to bring him to a vet. If he hasn't pooped in 6 days and eating a lot that's not good. Check to see if he is bloated too, if he is then just take him in a vet.

    Thank you everyone for the helpful information
    - I like the idea of a hospital tank but I don't have a spare one unless he likes to swim with bettas( I would never do that)
    - he may be pooping in his water dish but how fast does it take to dissolve because someone in my family always checksit within 3-4 hours

    - may try to find a vet but I don't have alot of money like some people do
    Mr.Jelly is thanking all you for your info

    Petsmart carries a large critter keeper that you could use for a short term hospital tank. Get the biggest size they have. Should run you less then 15$.

    It could dissolve fairly quickly. If it sits for a little while, soaking up water, then your frog disturbs the water by hopping in it could break it up pretty quickly. The other day I noticed a log in the water, tried to scoop it out and it just became mush and ended up having to dump the whole bowl (I'd just filled it XD). It had only been an hour or two. If this is it the dish would literally be caked in what would look like substraight.

    Putting him in the critter keeper for a few days should clear up if he is or is not pooping in the water. Dont put a water dish in the keeper (unless your doing the warm baths), just keep it well misted so that the paper towels are very very damp. If you dont see anything in a day or two you need to try a vet. Most vets have payment plans that should be able to help. ^^

    Look in his tank for poop all spaces. I wrote a journal of my whites feeding and poop schedule when he was having issues. Try a warm water soak that always helped. If it doesn't try to message the belly very gently. If all else fails take him to a vet good luck!!
