The sagging jaw is usually indicative of MBD. Griff, could it be something else?

Possibly. Hypocalcemia, but usualy their tongue will protrude from the mouth and they appear weak and lethargic. There is also the posability that Paco was born this way. If he is able to call then his mouth does close somewhat tightly and can seal.

no i was never advised to use a multi vitamin they just told me to use the calcium d3. i wish i had found this site before i got him
im going out today before i go to bed to get him some multi vitamin and also some different calcium powder to see if that helps him at all
yeah he calls almost every night, at first me and my partner thought it was littlen playing with his toys in his cot but then when i heard it every night i compared it to the calling sound on a vid on youtube and it was exactly the same

Very good! Look for Herptivite its a good multivitamin. You can also look for Rapashy. Fluker's Calcium Powder with itamin D3 is a good calcium supplement.

well i have got rep-cal calcium +D3 and also rep-cal herptivite multivit ... it says that these both work very well in combination so all being well this should help get back on top of it

thank you so much for your help guys it really is appreciated, without you i would of been none the wiser and could potentially end up in a much worse situation.

Grif ... i dont suppose you possible have any idea as to what breed paco actually is? when i bought him he was advertised as "green horned frog" so that really didnt help at all an i had a look at trying to work it ou myself but with being new to frogs i didnt really get anywhere
