impaction/prolapse

[camalotte]

It isn't very expensive to have a prolapse placed back in. Until you can get him to a vet soak him in a Luke warm bath that is chest deep with 5 to 6 drops of honey disolved in the bath. This should reduce swelling. These drops of honey can be large so don't warry about holding back. No harm will come to the frog from the honey bath.

Do this immediately.

I gave him the honey bath last night and the prolapse went back in almost immediately. He still however has the moss sticking out. Should i just continue to soak him and see if it will come out in the next day or two? Thank you all for your advice.

Yes I would continue the soaks. Buy some unflavored pedialye too and add a cap full to the bath as well. The better hydrated he is the easier it will be for him to pass the moss. You may still need a vet to give him an oral laxative.

Now get rid if all moss in the enclosure. It is too dangerous to allow your frog to eat in his enclosure with it in there. Just keep him on Eco Earth.

I'm absolutely getting it out of the tank. I will update if anything else changes. I just wanted to thank you all for being such a good resource. It is amazing how much miss-information there is out there, especially from the people who sell these little guys. I will definitely be switching to tong feeding the crickets to him.
How often can i give him the warm pedialyte or honey baths?

Add honey to a bath for a week and only add the Pedialyte every other bath. Be sure that after each bath you soak him in a second bath of just plain dechlorinated water to rinse the honey off his skin.

You're welcome.
