I need someone's help and knowledge about frog tongue prolapse!!!

[Wicked frogs]

Hey all my juvie pixie has been acting a little weird within the last week he looks great but i noticed when i put some crickets in he would go for one and his tongue would hang out and it would not go back in so he backs up to the corner of the tank and it slowly goes back in his mouth this is the second time it happened and after that he would not eat his food. It sure is worrying me since when i got him he was an eating machine I dont know can anyone help me out i tried youtube google nothing has worked and is he sick???

Have you been using calcium, d3, and vitamin powders? Sometimes frogs can lose control of their tongues if they are vitamin deficient.

I use Tetrafauna ReptoCal for all reptiles including calcium and vitamin D3 what other vitamins should i use? and do you think that is the problem?

[KingCam]

If you're providing calcium & vitamins as directed that's probably not the issue. I dunno what it could be, hopefully someone else can provide some insight.

Hmmmm

Does this vitamin supplement contain Vitamin A? A Vitamin A deficiency can cause this as well as a calcium deficiency. You should try Herptivite. It has Vitamin A reformed into beta carotene to help prevent Vitamin A toxicity.

A good supplement to use in my opinion is repashy calcium plus. I switch back in march to this and since then my frogs have been more active, brighter looking, and just seem healthier overall. It's a calcium and multivitamin all in one, ratioed out to be used safely everyday.



I guess instead of actually adding more calcium and vitamins, it somehow enhances the insects natural values, and adds a little bit not a whole lot. I actually e-mailed Allen Repashy to see how this works and why only this supplement is safe for every feeding, and that's what he told me.

Best of luck!
