    Default Frog bloated again...

    My frog is bloated and seems to be very firm on bit sides of its body. I didn't feed my frog for two days due to large schedule, but it only ate one large piece of night crawler today and two crickets. I haven't feed crickets in like three weeks from today, and I have heard they can't get bloated from the night crawlers. Should I put a hold on the feeding?

    I would wait. They can get bloated on anything if over fed, but Night Crawlers usually don't cause them to bloat often. if both sides are firm you might want to begin honey soaks again. I'm not sure why your frog keeps becoming constipated, but it needs to be figured out and prevented.

    It seems both sides are firm, the temp is at 79-80 should I crank it up to 84?

    Your frog is still young. I'd go to 82° or 83° and no higher. Perform the honey baths and see if the frog poops. both sides being firm is not a good sign and if the frog clean poop soon or becomes listless and lethargic you'll need a vet because it may be septic.

    After a couple days. Hard on both sides isn't good.

    Well it last pooped over a week ago, but it was the longest poop from the frog tht I have ever seen it do. Maybe that seems to be a new trend for the frog?

    What is skin poop, the other day I saw some white substance in the water after the frog went into it, is that clean poop?

    There is a clear white sac that coats their feces when they go.

    I believe I saw that before from my frog, is that a bad thing?

    Did the first honey bath tonight, put a bit extra honey than intended , but boy my frog let three large leavings out right when I kept him in, the problem was it jumped out three times and caught him twice. Should I gave weekly honey soaks then cause my frog doesn't digest that well it seems?

    No need for honey baths every week. You can just get him out once a week and give him a warm soak and that will help keep things moving. You frog is probably like a couple of mine who like to hold it for an extended period of time.
