Pacman frog keeps turning on back

[itspatti65]

20 gallon aquarium???
There is a small gecko in the cage with him.
Not sure of humidity, temp is 70ish
Use regAttachment 30189ular tap water for misting and soaking
There is a half circle cave thing open both ends wood
There is a branch type thing (real wood) gecko hangs out on that
Crickets is all he is fed
calcium dust on crickets
there is a black light/night light in there and a regular bulb for day/warmth
There is a under tank warmer and the light for warmth
I am pretty sure he ate a few days ago
No poop lately
14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine)
Not sure of his age, I did get him from a pet store about 6 months ago, he was fine up till about a week ago
frog is rarely handled
kept in bedroom, low traffic area
change water daily, clean entire cage about once every 45 days

You need to get accurate temperature readings and humidity. You need thermometer and hygrometer gauges inside the tank at about an inch or so above the substrate level (down where they live). This is very important. They need to live within the proper temperature readings and humidity levels or they will become stressed, stop eating, sick, or worse. Take the under tank heater off the bottom of the tank. They love to burrow and have been know to burrow down and accidently burn themselves. Be super careful when removing it because if any of the heat coils break from inside, it becomes a fire risk and you willl have to discard it. An under tank heater can, however, be used on the side of his tank. You should have a warm side to the tank and a cooler side for the water bowl. This allows them to regulate their own temps a bit by moving to the side they choose. You absolutely must dechlorinate all water used for him, including misting water, water bowl, and the water used to moisten substrate. Take the gecko out. They should each be in their own homes. The gecko will stress the frog and could eventually become a nice meal to him. The gecko can also scratch the frog. They have different body fluids that can make each other sick. It's not good for either of them to be housed together. P.S. Your geckos water should be given dechlorinated too. Go to the pacman/ceratophrys care sheet on the very front page of the forum here. Please come back with any further questions so we may help you. Good luck!

I second everything Heatheranne just stated above. I can not stress enough how important it is to research before you get a pet. Especially frogs.

Read this it will help you and provide much needed info.

Thank you both for the advice, will make changes and keep you posted! Is bottled water dechlorinated? Were you able to see the picture I attached to other thread?

I noticed no one else addressed this, but what type of gecko is being housed with him? For safety's sake I would remove it, whatever it is. And I could not see the picture you attached to your last thread...

This is my frog and the enclosure.

Gecko must move, does not belong in an aquarium, not enough air circulation.
Please follow advise given above.
