Bloated?

You guys are awesome! I picked up dechlorinater by Tetra. That'll work, right? I mixed up a whole batch of substrate for the little guy: should I dump it and use dechlorinated water? I do have a small amount of moss in his tank (5g tank), should I do my best to remove it all? I really, really appreciate the help! This is a lot different than taking care of my snakes.

Get rid of the moss. Prepare new substrate using the de-chlorinated water to expand it. Soak the frog in a Luke warm bath of de-chlorinated water to flush the chlorine out of its system. Soak for about 15 minutes and after the new substrate and water is placed in the enclosure put the frog back.

Just wondering... Are you using dechlorinated water for your snakes' drinking water as well? You really need to. They aren't quite as sensitive as amphibians, but if they get chlorinated water for long periods it can cause fatal problems. If you happen to have a particularly sensitive snake species it might not take that long. Generally, use dechlorinated water for anything that is cold-blooded.
