    Do you know the ratio of water to honey?

    And no the stones are bigger than her, the white ones are slightly bigger than her and the brown ones are more than double her.

    Also I forgot to add I just put grass seeds in there about four days ago. On the grass seed box it says nothing is added to them and they are safe.
    There's a seed on her in the pictures.

    Thank you Don
    Hopefully I'll find out what's wrong with her. If she still is lethargic and having troubles tomorrow I'll take her to the vet.
    Kristen,
    She ,really, does look good!
    I agree w/ Don- give her a soak.

    I'm worried about the grass seeds?
    What do you think?
    1) I am a skeptic and never believe it's "safe".
    2) Do you think she could have swallowed any ??

    What is this frog's lifespan?

    Hopefully the soaks will help! Poor baby

    Haha She says thank you
    I gave her a soak at 2.30 this morning. She did NOT like the soak, haha.
    She did perk up a bit after it though which is good.

    Yeah I'm not to sure on the grass seeds either :/
    I hope they are fine cause they are in all of the frog tanks and I wouldn't want anyone else getting ill.
    I don't think so but it could be possible. She is fed out of the tank (Cause of the high demand for food in there ;P) and unless she ate dirt from the tank she couldnt have swallowed a seed.

    Six to eight+ years.
    Thank you for your help! She is looking a bit better after the soak

    You can do the soak maybe twice in a week. You don't want to do it often.

    If she refuses to eat then you can do Pedialite baths (unflavored) to get vital nutrients back into her.

    She ate a cricket! Well at least I think she did. One is missing out of the five I put in. I still haven't found poo yet though :/
    She is still not herself, but she is alot better. I don't know what's wrong with her. Maybe she is stressed? I might get her a new tank all to herself or move the marsh frogs (cause they won't use the verticle space) I'm not sure yet. Seemso she has improved I won't bring her to the vet just yet. I'll wait and see how she goes.
    I might go get some Pedialite tomorrow. The ratio is Ten parts water to One part Pedialite, right? Thanks Don!
