Thanks, it is sad if a frog has to suffer and vets for them are hard to find. I know we don't have exotic vets where I live. The cost would be alot even if we had one. If stores would give fact sheets and tell people what to do and what NOT to do with animals, this would not happen. I have stores giving me wrong advice too often. I did hear mealworms aren't good and the reasons why. Now I wonder if crickets are ok. But, if impaction then bowel obstruction, by the time the owner discovers it, its going to be too late.

I use eco earth fiber substrate as part of my land area and would never put food on it. Gee, this fiber is really not small enough in case they ingest it, its ok for them to sit on and crawl thru but, it even has chunky pieces and small strands. Can't someone make ground up substrate for frogs? I had sand but took that out in case they ate that. I'd try indoor outdoor carpet maybe. Have Lowe's across the street and can see if they will sell a small amount. But, I have a feeling stores tell people its ok to use fish gravel with frogs and its not.

Oh, and mealworms don't last long and I discovered a store that was selling dead wax worms. They do not check them and container has no date. When I exchanged mine, discovered 8 out of 10 containers had dead worms, store acted like this was not a problem. They just don't care obviously. The mealworms I kept had oatmeal and a few drops of honey, and still died. They do have a hard shell! Thought I'd mention my findings to you. Do you find similar problems, too?
