Hmm is it possible that it climbed on a hot surface that burned it? Like maybe a heat mat got too hot or a heat bulb got too close?

Theres no way it got burned cause the cage isn't heated the room(there are 8 other tanks in the room as well) it's is so... Like I said, when I cleaned the tanks the only thing I found was that large(1+ inch) cricket. There's nothing else in the tank that could have hurt the frog at all, they've been in there for like 6 month.
How awful, so sorry to hear about this! I second the antibiotic/soak...could it have been a tank mate? Does he seem healthy otherwise?? Sounds like a cool job, if things go smoothly! At a natural history museum?
Well it is a great job when (never really) everything goes good. It is actually is a private owned animal park.
So does anyone have dr.feys info
crickets are very popular for this damage. when I worked at a reptile store people brought in frogs and baby reptiles asking why an eye or toe was missing. If there is nothing in the enclosure for the cricket to eat within 2 days then they will eat your pets alive. and sometimes this will pose a huge risk for infection if left untreated. It was right for you to fire the negligent worker. I wish the best for this little guy, you may have to find him a special needs home.
