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

and hey griff i was wondering since he is not eating can i put some of the vitamin powder in his water bowl since it would go through his pores initially entering into his body?

You might be able too, but it won't be as effective as if it were ingested. Will he not take anything from tongs at all?

Edit; What are his climate conditions?

I have not seen him eat in 2 days i have offered crickets, earthworms, etc. The climate is 80/80 at night 80/75 lowest 73 (temp) i tried to force feed him with a little butter knife but he is so small i did not want to hurt him. When i first adopted my pac man he was so feisty he would/did not eat for a month or so i got pics when i first got him he was starved so i forced feed him and i could tell he was happy now he is a champ all i can do is take advise and hope for the best i got confidence that he will be fine.

When force feeding you may want to use a plastic spoon flipped upsidedown so you don't injure the frog's mouth. Contact the people Lynn suggested. They can help.

You guys are great thank you so much ill let you know what happens i am going to try to feed him again i guess i will see what happens.

Tim,
I use this very small kitchen spatula to force feed. It is about 7"long.
I think it is used to decorate cup cakes?



The green part is really flexible and soft! It works very nicely. ( bed bath beyond)
Flexible enough not to scrape a frogs 'lips'. ( does a frogs have lips ? )
Wrap him in dampened paper towels when you handle him for this.
It would be easier with 2 people.
It takes a little practice.
Ask Grif what the best food would be. Something easy to digest!

Oh! Good luck !

Thank you Lynn you guys have the best ideas he is soaking in the tub now i offered a earth worm he went to nip at it but unfortunately he did not grab it i put a little calcium and vitamins in his water dish just so he can absorb it but if he don't eat today tomorrow i will force feed him plus i am gonna grab him a nice big ole tank today since they are having a sale at Petco $1 a gallon so by the end of the day he should be happy
