    I am sorry for posting this in the wrong location, Grif I do not declorenate the water, I will research that so i can find out how to do this. As for the moss this picture was taken when I first got him. I have removed the moss after doing research and it has been at least a month since he has been in moss. Today I checked on him in his ICU He looks better, infact he looks just like the picture when he was healthy. The thing that worries me is he has not had a bowl movement since he has been in the ICU. So i will check for impactation and I might try the honey bath. He may have toxicoutsysndrome as I have well water. Thank you for the help, I will try to see if he has a bowl movement befor i move him back in his cage.

    It is critical that you use a de-chlorinating agent for all your frogs water. You can buy these at local pet shops that have reptiles and fish. Look for Zoo Med Aquasafe. I use it and it works well. You may want to have your well water tested. High levels of heavy metal can also cause Toxins Out Syndrome. Prime is another good de-chlorinating agent. keep me posted on your frogs condition.

    Well I put him back in his cage, but I set him up in a 10 gallon and moved the 20 gallon tank outside. He buried himself immediately and is acting normal, I think he is going to be alright.

    Hi Grub,
    I too live in New Mexico and also have well water. I don't know where you are in NM, but we typically have high levels of Calcium, Magnesium, and metals such as iron. Buy a de-chlorinator at a petstore that states it neutralizes heavy metals. I use Flukers de-chlorinator and it seems to work fine. I also occasionally use '100% spring water'.
    good luck
