I think you can just take out the poop. I like drop his turds in a small container with water and give it a swirl n see if theres anything in there that shouldnt be. Keep up the good work.
All husbandry is correct now. It's pooped twice for me but is still thick in the sides and wasn't when I got it. I use non-laytex gloves when having to handle him. I don't want to take the chance. I take his turds out when I see them...like tonight when I went to feed him only to realize that he was pooping at the same time he was going after the worm. Haha. I removed the worm for a minute, let him poop, and then fed him the worm. He's not shy of tongs, so that's a great thing. I have both plastic and metal tongs, but the metal ones seem to hold the worms better, so I'm currently using those with care. I read about the frog biting down on the metal and injuring itself, so I make sure that the worms are hanging off when he nabs them. I'll be finding a dubia supplier here soon.

As for his "fluffiness", should I only feed him every other day or every day? I'm worried that I'll be the cause of impaction. :/
