Rear leg paralysis is generally due to eating too large of a food item.

ok,problem solved...by it self =.=..

he just poop a huge load of ****...now his legs is moving fine again...

i dont think i feed him too large food source?.....i been feeding him that pacman food for nearly 2 month now(last time roaches/meal worm) ....isnt those food perfect for the frogs?....easy to digest/vitamin etc etc..i never feed any pinky/rats to my albino before...

or maybe the ball i make is way too big ?...well..after he poop a whole **** load...both his legs are working fine again....

Stop feeding him mealworms. They are high risk for impaction. When feeding the Pacman Food make sure you are not feeding too large of a piece or multiple large pieces. They should be easily able to fit in the frogs mouth and swallowed. Also try to make sure that if your frog is an adult that you skip feeding for a day or two. Their growth slows drastically as adults and their metabolism will as well so they do not digest food as fast. If offering everyday feed smaller portions.

Try not to feed adult Dubias especially females due to they being quite large and their exoskeleton being far more developed than nymphs. Night Crawlers or earthworms are the best staple food. Easily digested and they keep the frogs poop soft so they pass it easily. Variety is still good, but be careful how much how often you feed an adult as well as the size of the portions.

It is supposed to be an all in one food source, but I'm skeptical about it. I feel it is better to offer your frog more variety because I almost certain that they receive far better nutrition from a varied diet of live insects and other invertebrates than that food provides. It is a good treat to offer them, but what happens if the food for some reason becomes unavailable and that is all your frog will eat? It is possible to somewhat copy the recipe,but if for some reason you can no longer buy it what will you do? Some frogs won't even accept the Pac Food at all and Pacman Frogs are notorious for refusing other food items if raised on one specific food source. Just some food for thought.
