More than likely he contracted the Parasites from the crickets, but he may have had them all along and just now has begun to show the symptoms as the infection grows. Crickets are dirty feeders no matter how clean their culture is kept. about 1 out of 10 will contain some sort of parasite, but perhaps fewer. Pinworms being one of the most common they carry.

If he has protozoa than that came from dirty water. Water should be changed no less that every 2 days whether the frog uses it or not. Stagnant water breeds bacteria and protozoa as well as Amoeba.

Hopefully you'll get it cleared up quickly.
Thanks, Grif. I hope to get it cleared up quickly, too.

I don't know yet what parasites Orion has. The vet just said two different kinds of intestinal parasites and that he would email me the results. I never received them and called to verify they have the correct email address, but still haven't received it.

He doesn't eat crickets any more because since getting a taste for night crawlers and hornworms he really doesn't care much for them. I did feed him crickets at first because that's what the pet store fed him, so I continued the practice the first couple weeks I had him.

I change his water about three times a week if he doesn't soil it. If he does soil the water I change it as soon as I find it. I think I'll start changing the water every day from here on out whether it needs it or not.
