Unfortunately he didn't look like thatI wish it was that. He went really stiff and flat, although bloated. He kind of convulsed into in inverted ball, so his legs were above his back. It's so hard to explain but I really don't know what's wrong
Could it be red leg? Although I have not noticed a change in colour since I bought them, there is a redsh tinge I assumed it was just his colours?
when you say that you are dusting your crickets are you dusting them with Calcium or vitamins or both?
It's calcium at the minute, I'm waiting for the vitamin to come through
KK, vitamins are very important as well. Frogs can get a deficiency from lack of vitamins as well. Especially if you have not given it to them since you got them. I hate to say it but many of the pet shops that sell these little guys do not take the proper care steps when housing them and they just feed them without dusting them. So who knows when the last time was that the little guys were properly supplemented.
Willow,
Sorry you are still having trouble
How long and how often have you been dusting w/ calcium?

The other thing that I noticed you said that the temp was at 70 and has dropped to 60. I would check and make sure the thermometer is reading correctly. If the temp is infact 60 that is to low for the little guys. You should be around 70 degrees within the enclosure.
They're fed every couple of days and are dusted every time. I am going to buy some vitamin dust from the pet store later. I think it's too late for this little guy, but I really hope the other will be ok. Fingers crossed for both of them![]()
