Somethigns not quite right

[morgan2341]

Ok I repeated the bathes and he immediately burrowed himself completely under the substrate, should I just leave him alone for a couple of days? I know they can go a while without food, but Im worried that there might be something else going on. Any suggestions, Grif? Thanks again for taking the time to help me with my little guy!!

He burrowed because the baths are stressful. Let him be for a night and tomorrow night if he doesn't come out just unbury his head so he can see and place some crickets in with him. Break the hind legs off them before placing them in. It makes them easier to catch.

No luck yet, I tried the crickets and let him bury himself for a couple of days, have I just stressed him out way too much? Is he ok to go this long without food, being that he is so young? Thanks again Grif for all your help!!

he is ok without food as long as he doesn't look too skinny, for a 2.5" frog a week off food is ok, he needs to feel safe now, so let him be, offer food but do not touch and see how it goes.

Peace and quiet can do wonders for them sometimes so try as Lija has suggested.

Ok so it has been a few days and he seemed to be doing well even ate a little 2 days ago. We have been leaving him alone and just misting his cage. Well last night my husband found him on his side, and he is acting like he has a neurological problem. Its like he can't move his back legs. My husband tried to soak him but he would sit upright. Then when he placed him back in the enclosure he screamed and had what looked to be seizures. We called the vet but they are closed today. Any ideas on what could have caused this. He has calmed down today but still cant move his back legs, and he has never eaten anything bigger then a small piece of earthworm or cricket so I know it's not from that. We are really at a loss as to what to do, he was a rescue so we do not really have a history on him. Any help right now would be appreciated, Thanks

This is beyond really what we can do. Neurological issues can come from many possibilities. If you have some Repta-Boost give him a dose of it and if you don't have any then get some. Could be from a Vitamin Deficiency, but honestly your frog does need to see the Vet. I'm not exactly sure what may have caused the seizure.

Keep a close eye on him until you can get him to the Vet. Keep his climate consistant and warm.
