Help! Frog may be impacted

[lovenokia]

where should the frog be moved after the warm bath?

[Pluke]

I just bought a pacman last saturday and I think he was a little impacted since he hadn't used the bathroom until last night and had a hard lump on his left side. I soaked the little guy in honey water 3 days in a row for 20 minutes and he finally went last night. After soaking him in the honey water I would set him in the water bowl in his tank and he'd sit there. Last night he finally went to the bathroom in his tanks bowl after a soak in honey. Hopefully everything comes out alright for your little guy.

As Pluke said you'll want to place him in his water dish after his soak is finished. Be sure to place warm water in it as well. Then leave him be.

I had one that I recently purchased, an Ornate that didnt poop for eleven days. I did a warm water soak inw ater that the frog had to kick and swim in as leg movement generally helps animals go (even humans) and after a pretty lengthy soak placed him in a plain terrarium with shallow water. He pooed the next day one massive deuce and has been eating like a champ and doing fine since.

The frog in that picture could really use a good deuce. WHat have you been feeding that thing?

First day mealworms, second day super worms, and now just crickets with a 3x a week calcium with d3 dusting and herptivite once a week

Huge mistake. Never feed them mealworms or superworms. very dangerous for baby frogs. they can't digest the chitin that the exoskeleton is made up of and impaction is usually the result.

i agree with grif my frog died also because of that , sorry for your loss , and also grif can you clean some of your pm messages i cant send you any pms

[GrifTheGreat]

and what about earthworms? are they also dangerous for my green frogs?

Is this a serious question?

If so then no and yes. If the worms contain chemicals from being artificially scented or chemical dyes they will be toxic to your frogs and kill them. If they have no chemicals or dyes then they are perfectly safe and actually a excellent source of nutrition for your frogs.
