Are you supplementing calcium? Jaws not lining up can be a symptom of MBD.

I do supplement calcium, but I'm feeding every other day now. Perhaps I need to go back to feeding every day, with the calcium every other?

i would use a calcium and D3 supplement with every feeding for this little guy. The first pic...how dry is the substrate? It should be moist.

[dpcsquid]

It is moist--the substrate was getting dry when I pulled him out to take a picture and I misted it right after. And every feeding? Hrm...I'll have to try that!

[Ra]

calcium with D3 at every feeding until the problem seems to perhaps remedy itself if it isnt too late. The D3 is important for metabolizing the calcium and keeping blood calcium levels up. Growing Horned Frogs need alot of calcium. WHen the frog is older, you can cut back on the frequency with which you supplement.

Easiest way to keep substrate moist is to toss the soil around once a week misting it as you mix it up. This also prevents fungal and bacterial growth. Ra has you covered for solving the MBD problem. That's excellent advice.
