My hubby has a Pacman frog that he keeps in a 10 gallon tank that is divided into two sections. One side has dirt and the other has moss and water, yes the water is de-chlorinated. regrettably, no the dirt was not hydrated with de-chlorinated water, we just realized. The frog gets misted with de-chlorinated water. He also has a light over the tank that is on during the day.
We recently found our cat had gotten into the tank. He wasn't going after the frog, he was chasing the crickets that were in the tank. This was a few weeks ago.
He feeds the frog crickets and king worms, and the occasional goldfish.
My hubby recently took the frog out to check him out and we saw what looks like cuts on both of his legs and one of his arms, the underside, and there was "stuff" coming out.
this picture is after my hubby cleaned the gunk off the cuts.
Now we are not sure if the cat did this while getting out of the cage or if this is something else. It could be the cat, but it seems weird that the "damage" is on the underside of the frog and when we caught the cat getting out of the tank the dirt where the frog was, was NOT disturbed and the frog was in the same place he always is.
The frog has not been eating very well for the past few months.
Can someone help me. If it's the cat then we can assume the cuts will heal?
Can the crickets or worms be doing this?
If it's something else, can you please help me!?!?
