please help , giant african bullfrog problem

[frogboy2nd]

I have a pair of adult giant african bullfogs they are in a 3 foot viv with about two three inches of water in it , this morning when i got up my female was swollen up to about double the size and is not moving much , iv taken her out of the water and placed her on her rock but she still hasnt moved or reduced in size if anyone could help i would be very grateful , cheers

has she pooped recently?

[frogboy2nd]

not noticed , do you think it could be because she is in the water ? i normally have them in eco earth but was told to change it to couple inch of water to start breeding , shes just not moving i can flip her upside down and wont even move a leg but is breathing ok , confused

[daltar08]

dont flip her upsidedown, let her be until we have an idea of whats happening

[frogboy2nd]

ok no worries , i only flipped her because i thought she was dead , wait 2 secs she has just done the biggest piss i have ever seen lol and is starting to go back to normal size , do you think i should get rid of the water ? im going to get some more mice tomorrow give her really good feed , dont want to loose her had them for 6-7 years

her back end has gone back to normal , front still quite swollen

Most believe females won't lay due to the lack of bariatric pressure changes that come with the raining seasons we can't duplicate most people that do breed use hormone injections to make the female lay once she's hit sexual maturity

ok so today iv changed the viv back to soil and the male is big eyed and going around tank digging holes , the female is looking alot better and colour has returned , has started moving a little , the male has eaten two large mice but the female just keeps nudging hers so didnt know wheather to pick her up and rub the mouses head on her lip like ya do with ornates been bit by her before and it bloody hurts lol , do you think i should leave it till tonight to do that or just get one down her now

If she has a bacterial infection or an impaction you do not want to feed her until she's been seen by a specialist. Feeding her may cause worse problems to occur.
