Need some help....Impaction

[Pluke]

Grif is always my go to guy with impactions concerns, it's always just a huge turd though, haha. I just wanted to add that the Lukewarm water temperate that I use is roughly 85-90 degrees. I do that temp with honey and my frogs will usually go, if they don't go during the first bath, they'll almost ALWAYS go during the second non-honey soak. This is a very good technique and it WORKS.

Good luck I hope your frog passes that log, I'm sure it's just a big poop she's been holding. I've seen some MASSIVE pacman poops.

LOL, I have never been so excited to see something ****. She ate a big dubia from tongs. Thats when I noticed the lumps on the left side. The big one on the right is probably the roach.

How many times per day should I soak?

Thanks for your help.

The bump on it's left side is food. Especially if it ate a big dubia you'll definitely feel a lump on the left side. It's right side is poop. I'd just do the honey soak once every other day, you could probably do it every day but I wouldn't, that's just me. You can do a normal lukewarm water soak every day. Once the frog poops though you don't have to worry about soaking.

I give my frogs a normal non-honey lukewarm water soak every 2 weeks if I don't see them poop, just because I have one frog that only poops if I give him a bath. He always goes too.

Ok, off to bathe her in honey....lol

Just got done with the first soak. She passed a little bit of turd, but not really worth mentioning. She is trying though. I think she will pass it with this second soak. I just put the warm water in her dish and put her back in her cage. Ill repeat tonight.

Best of luck!
Don't forget to try the massage technique that Grif posted. I've done something similar before, and within a minute or so my frog was passing something massive.

I asked how warm the water was because from experience I have found this critical. I went into further detail in another post, I will try to link it later but data on my phone is running low.
Somewhat briefly, I believe frogs naturally regulate their bowels in nature by hopping into warm puddles since obviously nobody is there to do it for them. small puddles they would jump into in nature (small cause they could drown in large bodies of water) move in temperature almost exactly on time with the air temperature. As we all know water equalizes to the same temperature as air. Warm tropical days are easily 90+ degrees and so is the water. I spent two weeks in Costa Rica last year and every day was above 100. A 95 degree bath isn't dangerous and it's not even all that much warmer than a swimming pool. Bare in mind most tanks are kept at 80 to 85 degrees during the day anyway.
With my frogs a "lukewarm" 85 degree bath has proved pointless. I make the water quite warm and they always poop almost instantly. They can easily hop out if they choose, but they always end up staying in for hours. Til the water drops back down to normal tank temperature.
Don't be afraid to make a 95 degree bath. It's always proved successful for me.
