Pacman frog front legs

[DorkiTimmy]

So my ornate pacman frog is either so fat that it cant use it front two legs like it litrally uses its back legs to kinda push its self now is this a problem?

For whatever reason, an animal being unable to walk correctly is obviously a problem. Post a picture of the frog trying to walk (or a video if possible) and answer the questions in the "Trouble in the Enclosure" sticky.

... ... I can't tell if you're trolling or not.

If you aren't, then answer the questions in the sticky at the top of the forum.

You didn't say your frog looked fat; that's normal. You said it couldn't walk without pushing itself around on its back legs.
The reason I thought you were trolling was because that first post seemed to say that your frog couldn't walk. Then you did not post the information asked for. You said you keep it on "coconut substrate" and that it was looking "a bit funky". There is no way ANYONE could give any helpful advice based on that, not even a trained vet.
Sorry for misinterpreting, but if you think your frog might have a health problem it is important to be as detailed as possible.

It would still be good to post the information I asked for and a picture, so people can tell you whether anything in your care routine or diet could be causing the frog to look bloated or become obese. Otherwise, all anyone can tell you is that these frogs are supposed to look 'fat' due to all the water they retain. They can't give you any information on whether the frog is retaining too much fluid or is unhealthily fat without more info and/or pictures.

I'm still confused. In your first post you said your frog "literally uses its back legs to kind of push itself". Now you're saying that the only problem is that you can't really see the frog's front legs when it's sitting still. Which is it? I just want to be certain, because the first is a potentially fatal health problem, and the second is nothing to worry about.

well I would say its ok. whenever my fantasy pacman frog isnt activie his fat belly covers his front legs. He can still hop and be a mean butt face that trys to bite me whenever he feels like it. So I think its fine

Hey Timmy, how frequently have you been dusting your frog's food with calcium? I purchased a frog that was doing pretty much the same thing, started dusting its food a lot and it got its strength back in those front legs.
