    I have calcium supplements for my other reptiles, one with D3 and one without D3, I didn't see the moss as an issue right now seeing as he is and has always been a picky eater, barely ever snapping at anything. When he gets his strength back and starts eating well I will take the moss out. The liquid I posted is supposed to go in drinking water but I figured since they absorb through their skin as well a bath with a little might make a difference? I'm not sure. I'm torn between leaving him alone for the day, giving him a bath with the supplement, or trying to get him to eat the food with a bit of calcium mixed in

    Yeah, you're not arguing with advice from someone who knows....................
    I wasn't trying to "attack" you, I was trying to help with advice and you just took it wrong.......I'm still not attacking, just pointing out that you are arguing.

    GET RID OF THE MOSS NOW. Impaction is not the only issue with it.....as Bruce stated, it could have chemicals in it that are basically poisoning your frog.
    The advice given to you so far has been explained.......and you are STILL questioning it. We are trying our best to help your frog.
    The pet store that doesn't treat the water....they usually have special filtration systems because they carry fish and they NEED treated water, so to keep costs under control, it is better for the store to run filtered water through the whole system. As a private owner, you do not have this system in place so you MUST treat the water. I sincerely am trying to help you.

    Rofl I think you guys are great. If it wasn't for your compassion for the frogs we all have I wonder if you would be so persistent in helping someone that appears to pick and choose what they think is the problem...

    I'm not arguing, I'm questioning. However now I am arguing. The pet store does not use filtered water they use tap water, I know because I volunteer there, also they do not carry fish.
    I'm done with this issue and I only care about treating whats wrong with him, my set up is fine.
    I have been soaking in the calcium and electrolyte last night and again tonight, I think it might be helping even after one soak, I couldn't tell 100% because of the dirt on him but I am pretty sure his mouth is closed and he seems to have more strength.
